+ Libaec provides fast lossless compression of 1 up to 32 bit wide
+ signed or unsigned integers (samples). The library achieves best
+ results for low entropy data as often encountered in space imaging
+ instrument data or numerical model output from weather or climate
+ simulations. While floating point representations are not directly
+ supported, they can also be efficiently coded by grouping exponents
+ and mantissa.
