// This class encodes a given integer point cloud based on the point cloud
// compression algorithm in:
// Olivier Devillers and Pierre-Marie Gandoin
// "Geometric compression for interactive transmission"
//
// In principle the algorithm keeps on splitting the point cloud in the middle
// while alternating the axes. In 3D this results in an Octree like structure.
// In each step we encode the number of points in the first half.
// The algorithm does not preserve the order of points.
//
// However, the algorithm here differs from the original as follows:
// The algorithm keeps on splitting the point cloud in the middle of the axis
// that keeps the point cloud as clustered as possible, which gives a better
// compression rate.
// The number of points is encode by the deviation from the half of the points
// in the smaller half of the two. This results in a better compression rate as
// there are more leading zeros, which is then compressed better by the
// arithmetic encoding.
//
// |PointDiT| is a type representing a point with uint32_t coordinates.
// must provide construction from three uint32_t and operator[].
