+/*Implements Binary Indexed Trees for cumulative probability tables, based
+   upon a combination of the techniques described in \cite{Fen93,Fen95,Mof99}.
+  This is a really, amazingly elegant data structure, that maintains
+   cumulative frequency tables in logarithmic time, using exactly the same
+   space as an ordinary frequency table.
+  In addition, the non-cumulative frequency can be retrieved in constant
+   amortized time (under 2 memory references per symbol on average).
+
+  We are dealing primarily with relatively small alphabets and are not sorting
+   symbols by frequency, and so we adopt Fenwick's tree organization strategy.
+  It's complexity has better constant factors, and although it is logarithmic
+   in n (the alphabet size) instead of s (the index of the symbol), the latter
+   is not expected to be appreciably smaller.
+  We modify it however, to remove the special cases surrounding the element 0,
+   which greatly streamlines the code.
+  Our scheme has the added benefit that for alphabet sizes that are a power of
+   2, the last element of the array is the total cumulative frequency count.
+
+  We choose Moffat's approach to halving the entire frequency table, which is
+   over twice as fast in practice as that suggested by Fenwick, even though
+   they have the same number of memory accesses.
+  We also adapt Moffat's suggestion for an omnibus decode function that updates
+   the count of the symbol being decoded while it is searching for it.
+  We also have it retain and return the cumulative frequency count needed to
+   update the arithmetic decoder.
+
+  See bitrenc.h and bitrdec.h for encoding- and decoding-specific functions.

+/*A multiply-free range decoder.
+  This is an entropy decoder based upon \cite{Mar79}, which is itself a
+   rediscovery of the FIFO arithmetic code introduced by \cite{Pas76}.
+  It is very similar to arithmetic encoding, except that encoding is done with
+   digits in any base, instead of with bits, and so it is faster when using
+   larger bases (i.e.: a byte).
+  The author claims an average waste of $\frac{1}{2}\log_b(2b)$ bits, where $b$
+   is the base, longer than the theoretical optimum, but to my knowledge there
+   is no published justification for this claim.
+  This only seems true when using near-infinite precision arithmetic so that
+   the process is carried out with no rounding errors.
+
+  IBM (the author's employer) never sought to patent the idea, and to my
+   knowledge the algorithm is unencumbered by any patents, though its
+   performance is very competitive with proprietary arithmetic coding.
+  The two are based on very similar ideas, however.
+  An excellent description of implementation details is available at
+   http://www.arturocampos.com/ac_range.html
+  A recent work \cite{MNW98} which proposes several changes to arithmetic
+   encoding for efficiency actually re-discovers many of the principles
+   behind range encoding, and presents a good theoretical analysis of them.
+
+  The coder is made multiply-free by replacing the standard multiply/divide
+   used to partition the current interval according to the total frequency
+   count.
+  The new partition function scales the count so that it differs from the size
+   of the interval by no more than a factor of two and then assigns each symbol
+   one or two code words in the interval.
+  For details see \cite{SM98}.
+
+  This coder also handles the end of the stream in a slightly more graceful
+   fashion than most arithmetic or range coders.
+  Once the final symbol has been encoded, the coder selects the code word with
+   the shortest number of bits that still falls within the final interval.
+  This method is not novel.
+  Here, by the length of the code word, we refer to the number of bits until
+   its final 1.
+  Any trailing zeros may be discarded, since the encoder, once it runs out of
+   input, will pad its buffer with zeros.
+
+  But this means that no encoded stream would ever have any zero bytes at the
+   end.
+  Since there are some coded representations we cannot produce, it implies that
+   there is still some redundancy in the stream.
+  In this case, we can pick a special byte value, RSV1, and should the stream
+   end in a sequence of zeros, followed by the RSV1 byte, we can code the
+   zeros, and discard the RSV1 byte.
+  The decoder, knowing that the encoder would never produce a sequence of zeros
+   at the end, would then know to add in the RSV1 byte if it observed it.
+
+  Now, the encoder would never produce a stream that ended in a sequence of
+   zeros followed by a RSV1 byte.
+  So, if the stream ends in a non-empty sequence of zeros, followed by any
+   positive number of RSV1 bytes, the last RSV1 byte is discarded.
+  The decoder, if it encounters a stream that ends in non-empty sequence of
+   zeros followed by any non-negative number of RSV1 bytes, adds an additional
+   RSV1 byte to the stream.
+  With this strategy, every possible sequence of input bytes is transformed to
+   one that could actually be produced by the encoder.
+
+  The only question is what non-zero value to use for RSV1.
+  We select 0x80, since it has the nice property of producing the shortest
+   possible byte streams when using our strategy for selecting a number within
+   the final interval to encode.
+  Clearly if the shortest possible code word that falls within the interval has
+   its last one bit as the most significant bit of the final byte, and the
+   previous bytes were a non-empty sequence of zeros followed by a non-negative
+   number of 0x80 bytes, then the last byte would be discarded.
+  If the shortest code word is not so formed, then no other code word in the
+   interval would result in any more bytes being discarded.
+  Any longer code word would have an additional one bit somewhere, and so would
+   require at a minimum that that byte would be coded.
+  If the shortest code word has a 1 before the final one that is preventing the
+   stream from ending in a non-empty sequence of zeros followed by a
+   non-negative number of 0x80's, then there is no code word of the same length
+   which contains that bit as a zero.
+  If there were, then we could simply leave that bit a 1, and drop all the bits
+   after it without leaving the interval, thus producing a shorter code word.
+
+  In this case, RSV1 can only drop 1 bit off the final stream.
+  Other choices could lead to savings of up to 8 bits for particular streams,
+   but this would produce the odd situation that a stream with more non-zero
+   bits is actually encoded in fewer bytes.
