+""" Routines for manipulating RFC2047 encoded words.
+
+This is currently a package-private API, but will be considered for promotion
+to a public API if there is demand.
+
+"""
+
+# An ecoded word looks like this:
+#
+# =?charset[*lang]?cte?encoded_string?=
+#
+# for more information about charset see the charset module. Here it is one
+# of the preferred MIME charset names (hopefully; you never know when parsing).
+# cte (Content Transfer Encoding) is either 'q' or 'b' (ignoring case). In
+# theory other letters could be used for other encodings, but in practice this
+# (almost?) never happens. There could be a public API for adding entries
+# to the CTE tables, but YAGNI for now. 'q' is Quoted Printable, 'b' is
+# Base64. The meaning of encoded_string should be obvious. 'lang' is optional
+# as indicated by the brackets (they are not part of the syntax) but is almost
+# never encountered in practice.
+#
+# The general interface for a CTE decoder is that it takes the encoded_string
+# as its argument, and returns a tuple (cte_decoded_string, defects). The
+# cte_decoded_string is the original binary that was encoded using the
+# specified cte. 'defects' is a list of MessageDefect instances indicating any
+# problems encountered during conversion. 'charset' and 'lang' are the
+# corresponding strings extracted from the EW, case preserved.
+#
+# The general interface for a CTE encoder is that it takes a binary sequence
+# as input and returns the cte_encoded_string, which is an ascii-only string.
+#
+# Each decoder must also supply a length function that takes the binary
+# sequence as its argument and returns the length of the resulting encoded
+# string.
+#
+# The main API functions for the module are decode, which calls the decoder
+# referenced by the cte specifier, and encode, which adds the appropriate
+# RFC 2047 "chrome" to the encoded string, and can optionally automatically
+# select the shortest possible encoding. See their docstrings below for
+# details.
