	table, msg = LibCompress:GetEncodeTable(reservedChars, escapeChars,  mapChars)

		reservedChars: The characters in this string will not appear in the encoded data.
		escapeChars: A string of characters used as escape-characters (don't supply more than needed). #escapeChars >= 1
		mapChars: First characters in reservedChars maps to first characters in mapChars.  (#mapChars <= #reservedChars)

	return value:
		table
			if nil then msg holds an error message, otherwise use like this:

			encoded_message = table:Encode(message)
			message = table:Decode(encoded_message)

	GetAddonEncodeTable: Sets up encoding for the addon channel (\000 is encoded)
	GetChatEncodeTable: Sets up encoding for the chat channel (many bytes encoded, see the function for details)
