"""
rANS (Range Asymmetric Numeral Systems) Codec for LLM Weight Compression

This is a production-quality implementation optimized for:
1. 4-bit quantized weight indices (16 symbols)
2. Tile-parallel encoding/decoding
3. Benchmarking decode throughput

Based on Fabian Giesen's rANS implementation.
