//! 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 `data_encoding::Encoding` can't be used
//! directly, but this module aims to provide a similar interface (with some
//! methods omitted).

/// We can't use it directly, as nix also reads in characters in reverse order.
