> isn't as optimal as it could be from a huffman encoding perspective

I've been toying with the idea of literally having decoding as decompression, where there's a special instruction to change the dictionary. I guess this'd be tantamount to implementing the decoder as an FPGA, but I'm hoping there's some reasonable version where a fairly non-dense "base encoding" becomes a pretty optimal bit stream.
