8//! Elias ω code.
9//!
10//! Elias [γ](super::gamma) and [δ](super::delta) codes encode a number *n* by
11//! storing the binary representation of *n* + 1, with the most significant bit
12//! removed, prefixed by its length in unary or [γ](super::gamma) code,
13//! respectively. Thus, [δ](super::delta) can be seen as adding one level of
14//! recursion in the length representation with respect to [γ](super::gamma).
15//! The ω code encodes the length of the binary representation of *n* + 1
16//! recursively.
17//!
18//! The implied distribution for the ω code is difficult to write analytically,
19//! but essentially it is as close as possible to ≈ 1/*x* (as there is no code
20//! for that distribution).
21//!
22//! The supported range is [0 . . 2⁶⁴ – 1).
23//!
24//! For the ω code it is easier to describe the format of a codeword, rather
25//! than the encoding algorithm.
26//!
27//! A codeword is given by the concatenation of blocks *b*₀ *b*₁ …  *b*ₙ `0`,
28//! where each block *b*ᵢ is a binary string starting with `1` and *b*₀ = `10`
29//! or `11`. One can interpret the highest bit of each block as a continuation
30//! bit, and the last `0` as a terminator of the code.
31//!
32//! The condition for a valid codeword is that the value represented by each
33//! block, incremented by one, is the length of the following block, except for
34//! the last block.
35//!
36//! The value associated with a codeword is 0 if the code is `0`, and otherwise
37//! the value of the last block, decremented by one.
38//!
39//! For example, `1110110`, which is formed by the blocks `11`, `1011`, and `0`,
40//! represents the number 10.
41//!
42//! As discussed in the [codes module documentation](crate::codes), to make the
43//! code readable in the little-endian case, rather than reversing the bits of
44//! the blocks, which would be expensive, we simply rotate by one on the left
45//! each block, with the result that the most significant bit of the block is
46//! now the first bit in the stream, making it possible to check for the
47//! presence of a continuation bit. For example, in the little-endian case, the
48//! code for 10 is `0011111`, which is formed by the blocks `11`, `0111`, and
49//! `0`.
50//!
51//! # Table-Based Optimization
52//!
53//! Unlike [γ](super::gamma), [δ](super::delta), and [ζ](super::zeta) codes, ω
54//! codes use a special optimization for partial decoding. Due to the recursive
55//! nature of ω codes, when a complete codeword cannot be read from the table
56//! the table still provides partial information about the blocks that were
57//! successfully decoded. This partial state is used to continue decoding
58//! efficiently, avoiding re-reading the initial blocks.
59//!
