+combining two basic, well-proven compression ideas: sliding dictionaries
+(LZ77/78) and markov models (the thing used by every compression

+its last stage) with segregation of contexts according to what the bits
+are used for.
+
+   The ideas embodied in lzlib are due to (at least) the following

+Markov (for the definition of Markov chains), G.N.N. Martin (for the
+definition of range encoding), Igor Pavlov (for putting all the above
+together in LZMA), and Julian Seward (for bzip2's CLI).
