+// register. That literal's actual length can be as short as 1 byte, so this
+// can copy up to 15 bytes too much, but that's OK as subsequent iterations of

+// The encoded output must start with at least a 1 byte literal, as there are
+// no previous bytes to copy. A minimal (1 byte) copy after that, generated
+// from an emitCopy call in encodeBlock's main loop, would require at least
+// another inputMargin bytes, for the reason above: we want any emitLiteral
+// calls inside encodeBlock's main loop to use the fast path if possible, which
+// requires being able to overrun by inputMargin bytes. Thus,
+// minNonLiteralBlockSize equals 1 + 1 + inputMargin.

+	// since a literal of length 60 needs one tag byte + one extra byte
+	// for length information.
+	//
+	// Item blowup is trickier to measure. Suppose the "copy" op copies
+	// 4 bytes of data. Because of a special check in the encoding code,
+	// we produce a 4-byte copy only if the offset is < 65536. Therefore
+	// the copy op takes 3 bytes to encode, and this type of item leads
+	// to at most the 62/60 blowup for representing literals.
+	//
+	// Suppose the "copy" op copies 5 bytes of data. If the offset is big
+	// enough, it will take 5 bytes to encode the copy op. Therefore the
+	// worst case here is a one-byte literal followed by a five-byte copy.
+	// That is, 6 bytes of input turn into 7 bytes of "compressed" data.
+	//
