Thank you.  Honestly I didn't expect it was accepted without further
modifications.

This was the part I was the less confident (and for good reasons).
Thanks again to have (completely) rewritten it.  I'll try to be
more rigorous in the future with the doc, NEWS, etc..

I'll also thanks Paul Eggert for his optimizations of the new functions
in commit 5abaea334cf4c0e004fca2b8b272e091eb5b5444.

Pierre.

P.S.
Would it be any interest if I try to add others bases encoding as
defined in RFC 4648 ?  I think, first, to BASE32 and maybe on BASE16
later.
