//! Implements the slightly odd "base32" encoding that's used in Nix.
//!
//! Nix uses a custom alphabet. Contrary to other implementations (RFC4648),
//! encoding to "nix base32" doesn't use any padding, and reads in characters
//! in reverse order.
//!
//! This is also the main reason why we can't use `data_encoding::Encoding` -
//! it gets things wrong if there normally would be a need for padding.
