  Description     : fast integer compression in C using the StreamVByte codec
 StreamVByte is a new integer compression technique that applies SIMD
 instructions (vectorization) to Google's Group Varint approach. The net
 result is faster than other byte-oriented compression techniques.
 .
 It includes fast differential coding.
 .
 It assumes a recent Intel processor (e.g., haswell or better) or an ARM
 processor with NEON instructions (which is almost all of them).
