// Message Data System for Zelda 3 (A Link to the Past)
// ===========================================================================
//
// This system handles the parsing, editing, and serialization of in-game text
// messages from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES).
//
// ## Architecture Overview
//
// The message system consists of several key components:
//
// 1. **Character Encoding** (`CharEncoder`):
//    Maps byte values (0x00-0x66) to displayable characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9,
//    punctuation). This is the basic text representation in the ROM.
//
// 2. **Text Commands** (`TextCommands`):
//    Special control codes (0x67-0x80) that control message display behavior:
//    - Window appearance (border, position)
//    - Text flow (line breaks, scrolling, delays)
//    - Interactive elements (choices, player name insertion)
//    - Some commands have arguments (e.g., [W:02] = window border type 2)
//
// 3. **Special Characters** (`SpecialChars`):
//    Extended character set (0x43-0x5E) for game-specific symbols:
//    - Directional arrows
//    - Button prompts (A, B, X, Y)
//    - HP indicators
//    - Hieroglyphs
//
// 4. **Dictionary System** (`DictionaryEntry`):
//    Compression system using byte values 0x88+ to reference common
//    words/phrases stored separately in ROM. This saves space by replacing
//    frequently-used text with single-byte references.
//
// 5. **Message Data** (`MessageData`):
//    Represents a single in-game message with both raw binary data and parsed
//    human-readable text. Each message is terminated by 0x7F in ROM.
//
// ## Data Flow
//
// ### Reading from ROM:
// ROM bytes → ReadAllTextData() → MessageData (raw) → ParseMessageData() →
// Human-readable string with [command] tokens
//
// ### Writing to ROM:
// User edits text → ParseMessageToData() → Binary bytes → ROM
//
// ### Dictionary Optimization:
// Text string → OptimizeMessageForDictionary() → Replace common phrases with
// [D:XX] tokens → Smaller binary representation
//
// ## ROM Memory Layout (SNES)
//
// - Text Data Block 1: 0xE0000 - 0xE7FFF (32KB)
// - Text Data Block 2: 0x75F40 - 0x773FF (5.3KB)
// - Dictionary Pointers: 0x74703
// - Character Widths: Table storing pixel widths for proportional font
// - Font Graphics: 0x70000+ (2bpp tile data)
//
// ## Message Format
//
// Messages are stored as byte sequences terminated by 0x7F:
// Example: [0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x7F] = "ABC"
// Example: [0x6A, 0x59, 0x2C, 0x61, 0x32, 0x28, 0x2B, 0x23, 0x7F]
//          = "[L] saved Hyrule" (0x6A = player name command)
//
// ## Token Syntax (Human-Readable Format)
//
// Commands:     [TOKEN:HEX] or [TOKEN]
//               Examples: [W:02] (window border), [K] (wait for key)
// Dictionary:   [D:HEX]
//               Examples: [D:00] (first dictionary entry)
// Special Chars:[TOKEN]
//               Examples: [A] (A button), [UP] (up arrow)
//
