Hi Florian,

As always, I'm amazed by your concise code. But your solution seems to be 
failing a bunch of my tests (and not just by chopping lines early, which is 
allowed):

encoding:
- escapes mid-line whitespace
- escapes '~'
- allows too-long lines (my tests saw up to 104 characters on a line)
- allows unescaped whitespace on the end of a line (as long as it's preceded 
by escaped whitespace)
decoding:
- doesn't ignore trailing literal whitespace

Cheers,
Dave
