// In the following anonymous namespace, we provide a generic framework
// to encode/decode baseN format.  We use the following tools:
// - boost base64_from_binary/binary_from_base64: provide mapping table for
//   base64.
//   These classes take another iterator (Base) as a template argument, and
//   their dereference operator (operator*()) first retrieves an input value
//   from Base via Base::operator* and converts the value using their mapping
//   table.  The converted value is returned as their own operator*.
// - base{32hex,16}_from_binary/binary_from_base{32hex,16}: provide mapping
//   table for base32hex and base16.  A straightforward variation of their
//   base64 counterparts.
// - EncodeNormalizer/DecodeNormalizer: supplemental filter handling baseN
//   padding characters (=)
// - boost transform_width: an iterator framework for handling data stream
//   per bit-group.  It takes another iterator (Base) and output/input bit
//   numbers (BitsOut/BitsIn) template arguments.  A transform_width object
//   internally maintains a bit stream, which can be retrieved per BitsOut
//   bits via its dereference operator (operator*()).  It builds the stream
//   by internally iterating over the Base object via Base::operator++ and
//   Base::operator*, using the least BitsIn bits of the result of
//   Base::operator*.  In our usage BitsIn for encoding and BitsOut for
//   decoding are always 8 (# of bits for one byte).
//
// Its dereference operator
//   retrieves BitsIn bits from the result of "*Base" (if necessary it
//   internally calls ++Base)
//
// A conceptual description of how the encoding and decoding work is as
// follows:
// Encoding:
//   input binary data => Normalizer (append sufficient number of 0 bits)
//                     => transform_width (extract bit groups from the original
//                                         stream)
//                     => baseXX_from_binary (convert each bit group to an
//                                            encoded byte using the mapping)
// Decoding:
//   input baseXX text => Normalizer (convert '='s to the encoded characters
//                                    corresponding to 0, e.g. 'A's in base64)
//                     => binary_from_baseXX (convert each encoded byte into
//                                            the original group bit)
//                     => transform_width (build original byte stream by
//                                         concatenating the decoded bit
//                                         stream)
//

// for different encoding algorithms.
