> I noticed that the LZW decoder performance can be improved: it's
> allocating a new byte[] for every byte it visits in the stream.  This
> is actually an O(N^2) cost, but N is typically fairly small.
> I changed LZWDictionary to use its own private growable byte[] to
> accumulate each added byte.  I also changed it to not pre-enroll all
> initial (0-255) codes, but instead add it (lazily) on demand if the
> code is used.
> I also randomized the TestFilters test, and mixed in some
> "more predictable" patterns, so we get better testing of the filters.
> If the test fails it prints the seed used for the random numbers, so
> we can reproduce the failure.
