This is truly fantastic, unlike anything I've ever seen before.
Since you are reimplementing it in Python, just some thoughts: I did a
quick analysis of the Lessis-Moore algorithm, and it has occured to me
that if one were to put an md5-filter in front, filtering all the data
prior to feeding it into the LM-algorightm, it could achieve even
greater compression. And of course, for the unzip one could simply use
reverse md5.
