+// for encoding. It is _much_ slower than the reference implementation, but we
+// encode only during build, and most time in build is spent in other things
+// than encoding posting lists, so it only costs ~5-10% overall. Does not use
+// any special character sets, and generally isn't optimized at all.
+//
+// It encodes about 0.01% denser than the reference encoder (averaged over
+// a real plocate corpus), probably since it has a slower but more precise
+// method for estimating the cost of a PFOR + varbyte block.
