'encode' and 'decode' are meaningless because the code deals with three encodings. Document the encodings and give a name to each one.

// Trie keys are dealt with in three distinct encodings:
|
|
//
|
|
// KEYBYTES encoding contains the actual key and nothing else. This encoding is the
|
|
// input to most API functions.
|
|
//
|
|
// HEX encoding contains one byte for each nibble of the key and an optional trailing
|
|
// 'terminator' byte of value 0x10 which indicates whether or not the node at the key
|
|
// contains a value. Hex key encoding is used for nodes loaded in memory because it's
|
|
// convenient to access.
|
|
//
|
|
// COMPACT encoding is defined by the Ethereum Yellow Paper (it's called "hex prefix
|
|
// encoding" there) and contains the bytes of the key and a flag. The high nibble of the
|
|
// first byte contains the flag; the lowest bit encoding the oddness of the length and
|
|
// the second-lowest encoding whether the node at the key is a value node. The low nibble
|
|
// of the first byte is zero in the case of an even number of nibbles and the first nibble
|
|
// in the case of an odd number. All remaining nibbles (now an even number) fit properly
|
|
// into the remaining bytes. Compact encoding is used for nodes stored on disk.
