For the DICT scheme, we'll need to choose between uniformity and flexibility.
In the uniform extreme of the spectrum, we'll have:
And in the flexible extreme (or close to it) we'll have:
I'm leaning toward the more flexible extreme.

At the moment, most of our decompressors can be used with segment anchors or without them - but not both:
First, segment execution is important even as a single option; so MODEL and DICT should definitely have it. Then, it would be nice to support, at least for the sake of completeness, the unsegmented versions of these schemes, especially DELTA for benchmarking purposes, and RPE for cases where the overall support of the column is so small that segmentation is mostly a hassle.
