PFC: Zero-Copy Data Compression Through Prefix-Free Codecs

A header-only C++20 library that achieves 3-10× compression with zero marshaling overhead. PFC makes compression an intrinsic type property through prefix-free codes (Elias Gamma/Delta, Fibonacci, Rice), algebraic types, and Stepanov's generic …
