Implement BOCU-1 #139

Open Entomy opened 4 years ago

Entomy commented 4 years ago

BOCU-1 is an effective and highly applicable compression scheme for UNICODE data, and should be supported in Stringier.Encodings. This is a very effective data interchange format and winds up being more efficient than sending UTF data over the wire.

Some special considerations should be made, however. Implementation is required to have an additional license notice. And will be required to get a patent license (it's royalty free) from IBM. If someone else tackles this, I will get the patent license, and the PR will wait until receiving and filing that license.
