- Adds bitarray filling so mesages of any length can be encoded, instead of forcing the encoding to be of messages with length multiple of 5.
- Adds checks for encoding / decoding and raises expections if the inputs are not as expected.
- Flags functions that are supposed to be internal as "private".
