21   * Provides Base32 encoding and decoding as defined by <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4648.txt">RFC 4648</a>.
22   *
23   * <p>
24   * The class can be parameterized in the following manner with various constructors:
25   * <ul>
26   * <li>Whether to use the "base32hex" variant instead of the default "base32"</li>
27   * <li>Line length: Default 76. Line length that aren't multiples of 8 will still essentially end up being multiples of
28   * 8 in the encoded data.
29   * <li>Line separator: Default is CRLF ("\r\n")</li>
30   * </ul>
31   * </p>
32   * <p>
33   * This class operates directly on byte streams, and not character streams.
34   * </p>
35   * <p>
36   * This class is thread-safe.
