  It can then be loaded and used to encode/decode any text.

  Encoding has four phases:

  1. Tokenize into a list of tokens.  Each token is a unicode string of either
     all alphanumeric characters or all non-alphanumeric characters.  We drop
     tokens consisting of a single space that are between two alphanumeric
     tokens.

  2. Escape each token.  This escapes away special and out-of-vocabulary
     characters, and makes sure that each token ends with an underscore, and
     has no other underscores.

  3. Represent each escaped token as a the concatenation of a list of subtokens
     from the limited vocabulary.  Subtoken selection is done greedily from
     beginning to end.  That is, we construct the list in order, always picking
     the longest subtoken in our vocabulary that matches a prefix of the
     remaining portion of the encoded token.

  4. Concatenate these lists.  This concatenation is invertible due to the
     fact that the trailing underscores indicate when one list is finished.
