Great. Thanks for the roadmap. I'm not sure about the second step--
passing the bpp into the function. This implies making 1 unified RLE
decoder function rather than 7. But each RLE unpacker is slightly
different for each. Should there be 7 different functions, or 1 function
that has 7 case statements?

	Thanks...
