I must say, this is one of the simpler and most straightforward (which
means trustworthy, to me!) range coders I've seen, and being part of
ENet I trust its quality and license.
On the other hand, it seems so useful that I'd love to use it not just
in the context of ENet - any chance of fleshing-out the docs/commentary
of compress.c a bit?  I'm not asking for it to be exposed as an official
ENet API, just some good clues on re-using the compressor.
Thanks a lot!
