Algo super simples

alleycat:[haturatu]:~$ time for i in {1..10000}; do echo "test" | base91 ; done > 91

Contexto

Encontrei o seguinte no arquivo da lista de discussão:
Bug#706078: ITP: base91 – base91 encoder/decoder

It amounts at most to 23% (versus 33% for base64) and can range down to 14%, which typically occurs on 0-byte blocks. This makes basE91 very useful for transferring larger files over binary insecure connections like e-mail or terminal lines.

Será que isso conta como uma verificação...?

A seção bônus que todos adoram.
Não havia muitas ferramentas simples para gerar basE91 no navegador... então basE91 Encode/Decode
