/** @file
 * Definition of a dictionary based cache compressor. Each entry is compared
 * against a dictionary to search for matches.
 *
 * The dictionary is composed of 32-bit entries, and the comparison is done
 * byte per byte.
 *
 * The patterns are implemented as individual classes that have a checking
 * function isPattern(), to determine if the data fits the pattern, and a
 * decompress() function, which decompresses the contents of a pattern.
 * Every new pattern must inherit from the Pattern class and be added to the
 * patternFactory.
