"""
New Cython version of mar345_IO for preparing the migration to Python3

Compressor & decompressor for "pack" algorithm by JPA, binding to CCP4 libraries
those libraries are re-implemented in Cython.

Known bugs:
-----------

The precomp/postdec part need to be performed operation in int16 and exports
uint16. Some calculation are overflowing, this is needed to reproduce the
original implementation which is buggy
