/**
 * A binary encoding scheme for reversibly translating between byte sequences and printable ASCII
 * strings. This class includes several constants for encoding schemes specified by <a
 * href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648">RFC 4648</a>. For example, the expression:
 *
 * <pre>   {@code
 *   BaseEncoding.base32().encode("foo".getBytes(Charsets.US_ASCII))}</pre>
 *
 * <p>returns the string {@code "MZXW6==="}, and <pre>   {@code
 *  byte[] decoded = BaseEncoding.base32().decode("MZXW6===");}</pre>
 *
 * <p>...returns the ASCII bytes of the string {@code "foo"}.
 *
 * <p>By default, {@code BaseEncoding}'s behavior is relatively strict and in accordance with
 * RFC 4648.  Decoding rejects characters in the wrong case, though padding is optional.
 * To modify encoding and decoding behavior, use configuration methods to obtain a new encoding
 * with modified behavior:
 *
 * <pre>   {@code
 *  BaseEncoding.base16().lowerCase().decode("deadbeef");}</pre>
 *
 * <p>Warning: BaseEncoding instances are immutable.  Invoking a configuration method has no effect
 * on the receiving instance; you must store and use the new encoding instance it returns, instead.
 *
 * <pre>   {@code
 *   // Do NOT do this
 *   BaseEncoding hex = BaseEncoding.base16();
 *   hex.lowerCase(); // does nothing!
 *   return hex.decode("deadbeef"); // throws an IllegalArgumentException}</pre>
 *
 * <p>It is guaranteed that {@code encoding.decode(encoding.encode(x))} is always equal to
 * {@code x}, but the reverse does not necessarily hold.
 *
 * <p>
