Yeah, it's interesting. I'm slightly fuzzy on exactly what the 
difference between "arithmetic coding" and "range coding" is. Wikipedia 
seems to think there's a difference, but I don't know what it is.

(Then again, I only just figured out the difference between LZ78 and LZW...)

More like, it's a neural network which "learns" by adjusting the 
connection weights between cells - but *that* is the subject for another 
wall of text, I imagine... ;-)
