Perhaps these could be included in an examples module.
Well-known encoders I'd like to produce examples for:
Base64
Base64, URL-safe variant
Ascii85
Base85 (revised version of Ascii85 conforming to RFC 1924)
Z85 (ZeroMQ version of Ascii85)
Base91
Base32
Base16 (maybe too easy?)
Base36
Base58
With the exception of the base-85 schemes (which perform some additional kind of run-length encoding on certain output patterns, all of these should be rather trivial to implement as subclasses, and might serve as more helpful documentation and proof-of-concept to potential users.
Regarding the output transformation of the Ascii85 variants, it might be worth holding off until issue #27 is done (the pre-processing and post-processing ideas would be very helpful for such a scheme as Ascii85).
