//! Delta encoding for sorted integer sequences.
//!
//! Delta encoding stores the differences between consecutive values rather than
//! the values themselves. This is highly effective for sorted or sequential data
//! where consecutive values are close to each other.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! // Original: [100, 105, 107, 110, 115]
//! // Deltas:   [5, 2, 3, 5]
//! // Stored:   base=100, deltas=[5, 2, 3, 5]
//!
//! let values = vec![100u64, 105, 107, 110, 115];
//! let encoded = DeltaEncoding::encode(&values);
//! let decoded = encoded.decode();
//! assert_eq!(values, decoded);
//! ```
