     * @short A compression facility for whitespace nodes.

     *

     * CompressedWhitespace compresses and decompresses strings that consists of

     * whitespace only, and do so with a scheme that is designed to do this

     * specialized task in an efficient way. The approach is simple: each

     * sequence of equal whitespace in the input gets coded into one byte,

     * where the first two bits signals the type, CharIdentifier, and the

     * remininding six bits is the count.

     *

     * For instance, this scheme manages to compress a sequence of spaces

     * followed by a new line into 16 bits(one QChar), and QString stores

     * strings of one QChar quite efficiently, by avoiding a heap allocation.

     *

     * There is no way to tell whether a QString is compressed or not.

     *

     * The compression scheme originates from Saxon, by Michael Kay.
