What is bencode?
----------------

Bencode is a simple data serialization format used by the popular 
[BitTorrent](http://bittorrent.org/) P2P file sharing system.

It contains only four data types, namely:

- byte strings
- integers
- lists
- dictionaries


Examples
--------

    "foo bar".bencode                   # => "7:foo bar"
    42.bencode                          # => "i42e"
    [1, 2, 3].bencode                   # => "li1ei2ei3ee"
    {"foo" => 1, "bar" => -10}.bencode  # => "d3:bari-10e3:fooi1ee"
