20 * It's a pity that old uncompress does not check bit 0x20. That makes
21 * extension of the format actually undesirable because old compress
22 * would just crash on the new format instead of giving a meaningful
23 * error message. It does check the number of bits, but it's more
24 * helpful to say "unsupported format, get a new version" than
25 * "can only handle 16 bits".
