I came all the back from my Thanksgiving slumber just to say; really?
I love this library, and have made a C++ friendly version of the same.
What you get for a few hundred lines of code far outweighs any of the shortcomings it might have. It's a great starting point. If someone wants to make a full on format, they'll probably be better off just using the new JPEG XL, rather than trying to shape this thing.
It's a good exploration of what can be done with run-length encoding.
