To avoid awkward hyphenation, may we rephrase this text? Original (comment 6) #4972

To avoid awkward hyphenation, may we rephrase this text?

Original: The string uses one bit for the Huffman flag, followed by the Length encoded as an (N-1)-bit prefix integer.

Perhaps: The string uses one bit for the Huffman flag, followed by the Length encoded as a prefix integer of (N-1) bits.

I'm hesitant to do this, as "X-bit prefix integer" is the term we've consistently used. Perhaps rewording to avoid using N would be clearer?

Based on previous discussion, I think the fact that we use "X-bit prefix integer" consistently through this document means we have to live with this awkward hyphenation.
