I wonder if they just reinvented UU-(en,de)code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuencoding

I guess it'll go... nowhere.

There's been prior art, I was immediately reminded of Ascii85

Incidentally every Windows desktop now has UUENCODE built in

  C:\>dir > %TEMP%\foo && tar -cf - --format shardump %TEMP%\foo

Finally I can extract those usenet archives. :)
