Feature request: add base85/ascii85 encode in GTMStringEncoding #76

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
base85/ascii85 has the best compress rate for binary to string encode. please 
consider add it into GTMStringEncoding

Actually, it's already supported, just without a shared encoding.  If you look 
at the .m for how the common ones are created, you'll see you can use 
+stringEncodingWithString: and simply provide the string with the mapping 
characters and get full support.

Odds aren't we won't provide a wrapper as it's not clear that the usage is that 
common to justify it, and you can get the same functionality still in a single 
line of code by providing encoding string yourself.
