This module performs base64 encoding and decoding of arbitrary binary
strings into text strings that can be safely emailed or posted. The
encoding scheme is defined in \rfc{1421} (``Privacy Enhancement for
Internet Electronic Mail: Part I: Message Encryption and
Authentication Procedures'', section 4.3.2.4, ``Step 4: Printable
Encoding'') and is used for MIME email and
various other Internet-related applications; it is not the same as the
output produced by the \program{uuencode} program. For example, the
string \code{'www.python.org'} is encoded as the string
\code{'d3d3LnB5dGhvbi5vcmc=\e n'}.
encoding scheme is defined in \rfc{1521} (\emph{MIME
(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part One: Mechanisms for
Specifying and Describing the Format of Internet Message Bodies},
section 5.2, ``Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding'') and is used for
MIME email and various other Internet-related applications; it is not
