+//
+// StringDecoder
+//
+// This class is used to decipher 8-bit strings that
+// contain packed ints, strings, and other data.
+// The typical example of usage is to decipher the
+// serialized animation queues fed to us by Luprex.
+//
+// The StringDecoder doesn't make a copy of the string
+// you pass in, instead, it stores a pointer to it.
+// So be sure not to free the string until you're
+// done analyzing it.
+//
+// You'll note that some of the function names are
+// lowercase, with underscores.  That's because they're
+// inherited from Luprex classes, and luprex classes
+// use that naming convention.  There's not any easy
+// workaround for that.
