An implementation of the BEncode data encoding format, as seen in BitTorrent, the Mainline DHT, and so on. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bencode and https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification#Bencoding .(This is a separate implementation from the 2013 Crypto-Bencode package published to http://smalltalkhub.com/tonyg/Crypto-Bencode/ ; Crypto-Bencode is less strict in parsing than this package, and does not run on Squeak trunk as of August 2025.)
