So, for a little project I needed to compress a bit of data, and @cancel and I made up a spec that should be possible to implemented on small systems without too much headaches.

I wrote a bit of documentation for it, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to put the docs to the test and see if they could write a toy implementation in a language of their choice. It'd help me see if there's things missing in the docs.

So, think of it as a little puzzle.

@neauoire @cancel Nice! But the encoded data doesn't use CPY2 does it? I expected the example to guide me towards a full implementation, so I was surprised to see the full text after only LIT and CPY1! :)

@nicolagi @cancel ah you're right, I chose a segment that's too small. I'll fix the example :) thanks for pointing that out.

@neauoire No need to update the example! My message was a way of sharing my enthusiasm for working through your puzzle. Just showing appreciation and checking I didn't miss something; not intending to criticize or create work... sorry if it came across differently!

@nicolagi nono it's all good :) I've since added a longer example to the repo(as to not clog the documentatio) It's good, I wanted to have a way to benchmark CPY2 as well!
