Default A Modest Proposal to Save Five-Level Code

But why should five-bit code be saved?

That's true - if one is concerned with saving bandwidth, which will still be
a concern in some applications, no matter how technology advances - one could
always use compression algorithms like those used for ZIP files, or, if
simplicity is an issue, a static Huffman code.
