+ * \brief Run-length encoder remote control
+ *
+ * The Subblock filter has an internal run-length encoder (RLE). It
+ * can be useful when the data includes byte sequences that repeat
+ * very many times. The RLE can be used also when a Subfilter is
+ * in use; the RLE will be applied to the output of the Subfilter.
+ *
+ * Note that in contrast to traditional RLE, this RLE is intended to
+ * be used only when there's a lot of data to be repeated. If the
+ * input data has e.g. 500 bytes of NULs now and then, this RLE
+ * is probably useless, because plain LZMA should provide better
+ * results.
+ *
+ * Due to above reasons, it was decided to keep the implementation
+ * of the RLE very simple. When the rle variable is non-zero, it
+ * subblock_data_size must be a multiple of rle. Once the Subblock
+ * encoder has got subblock_data_size bytes of input, it will check
+ * if the whole buffer of the last subblock_data_size can be
+ * represented with repeats of chunks having size of rle bytes.
+ *
+ * If there are consecutive identical buffers of subblock_data_size
+ * bytes, they will be encoded using a single repeat entry if
+ * possible.
+ *
+ * If need arises, more advanced RLE can be implemented later
+ * without breaking API or ABI.
