    The short answer is no, and even if we could, the digit index you’d start at would have a larger binary representation than the actual data you were trying to encode.

      Yep. Not always larger necessarily, but close to the same size on average, or maybe a little smaller if the domain is limited and compression can be applied. Not really useful.
