literally who hurt genomics to make you all encode one specific kind of number as the ASCII characters from ! to ~ as an integer input to some logarithm function, but then others of you changed the function but kept encoding it as a single ASCII character ranging from -5 to 62 (???), and then later they decided that -5 to 62 was silly and so they changed that to 0-62 and throwing away half the original range for no reason, except actually it's 0-40 by convention.
did anyone consider "encoding it as a number"
