 Each has versions in uncompressed form as well as compressed with UTF16, URI Encoding, and Base-64 modes.
 The mode corresponding to `compress()` and `uncompress()` is not provided because I don't know how to accurately
 write its invalid UTF-16 codepoints to disk.

+The `demo/TransmissionDemo/` folder has the sources for the aforementioned demo, but it also has an
+LZByteEncoding and LZIntEncoding class. LZByteEncoding is more likely to be useful, and is more up-to-date;
+it compresses a String to a byte array and back again. That is probably desirable for networking tasks, but
+using it depends on [libGDX](https://libgdx.com/), so it isn't part of the main repo.
