26 * Construct a string representing a byte array. Use run-length encoding.
27 * Two bytes are packed into a single char, with a single extra zero byte at
28 * the end if needed. A byte represents itself, unless it is the
29 * ESCAPE_BYTE. Then the following notations are possible:
30 * ESCAPE_BYTE ESCAPE_BYTE ESCAPE_BYTE literal
31 * ESCAPE_BYTE n b n instances of byte b
32 * Since an encoded run occupies 3 bytes, we only encode runs of 4 or
33 * more bytes. Thus we have n > 0 and n != ESCAPE_BYTE and n <= 0xFF.
34 * If we encounter a run where n == ESCAPE_BYTE, we represent this as:
35 * b ESCAPE_BYTE n-1 b
36 * The ESCAPE_BYTE value is chosen so as not to collide with commonly
37 * seen values.
