This LGTM, thanks @dignifiedquire.

Should we merge this now and worry about the type marker in a later change?


RLE+ is a lossless compression format based on [RLE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-length_encoding).
It's primary goal is to reduce the size in the case of many individual bits, where RLE breaks down quickly,
while keeping the same level of compression for large sets of contigous bits.
