Why are PGP so keen to hand huffman encode everything?
I concur completely. I once got so fed up with this habit that I tromped
around the office singing, "Every bit is sacred / Every bit is great / When
a bit is wasted / Phil gets quite irate."
Consider this to be one of the prime things to correct. Personally, I think
that numbers should never (well, hardly ever) be smaller than 32 bits.
