rfc1843
=======

   RFC1843 deals with mixing Chinese and ASCII characters in messages.
In essence, RFC1843 switches between ASCII and Chinese by doing this:

     This sentence is in ASCII.
     The next sentence is in GB.~{<:Ky2;S{#,NpJ)l6HK!#~}Bye.

   Simple enough, and widely used in China.

   The following functions are available to handle this encoding:

 - Function: rfc1843-decode-region start end
     Decode HZ-encoded text in the region START to END.

 - Function: rfc1843-decode-string string
     Decode the HZ-encoded STRING and return the result.
