+/**
+ * A {@link ChunksIntEncoder} which encodes data in chunks of 8. Every group starts with a single
+ * byte (called indicator) which represents 8 - 1 bit flags, where the value:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>1 means the encoded value is '1'
+ * <li>0 means the value is encoded using {@link VInt8IntEncoder}, and the
+ * encoded bytes follow the indicator.<br>
+ * Since value 0 is illegal, and 1 is encoded in the indicator, the actual
+ * value that is encoded is <code>value-2</code>, which saves some more bits.
+ * </ul>
+ * Encoding example:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Original values: 6, 16, 5, 9, 7, 1
+ * <li>After sorting: 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 16
+ * <li>D-Gap computing: 1, 4, 1, 1, 2, 5 (so far - done by
+ * {@link DGapIntEncoder})
+ * <li>Encoding: 1,0,1,1,0,0,0,0 as the indicator, by 2 (4-2), 0 (2-2), 3 (5-2).
+ * <li>Binary encode: <u>0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1</u> 00000010 00000000
+ * 00000011 (indicator is <u>underlined</u>).<br>
+ * <b>NOTE:</b> the order of the values in the indicator is lsb ⇒ msb,
+ * which allows for more efficient decoding.
+ * </ul>
