Looks like this project hasn't been updated since 2018. Is it still maintained?

Hi,
I found in your example that we have

let mut corrupted = *encoded;
// ...
println!("error correction code: {:?}", encoded.ecc());
println!("corrupted:             {:?}", corrupted);

what is the corrupted mean? I found that the corrupted doesnot have ecc() method with it.
By the way, I'm liitle confused with the parameters. I wonder why corrupted has different length with encoded.ecc(). For example, in your case our result is:

error correction code: [222, 132, 143, 149, 168, 20, 15, 242]
corrupted:             [0, 0, 0, 0, 111, 32, 87, 111, 114, 108, 100, 33, 222, 132, 143, 149, 168, 20, 15, 242]

If I use RSEnc(m, n) to represent encoding a m-bits message to a n-bits one, when using your API, should I set the length of the message to exactly m? Then use Encoder::new(n) ?

Looking forward to your kind reply.

Once rust-lang/rust#44580 is implemented.
