-- BDIVIDE r5 edition
-- Algorithm simplified for smaller implementation and potentially better compression
-- format:
-- 0-127 for constants
-- <128 + (length - 4)>, <position high>, <position low>
-- Position is where in the window it was found, minus 1.
-- windowSize must be the same between the encoder and decoder,
--  and is the amount of data preserved after cropping.
