VLQ decoding is sort of subtle, and the one shown in the article under "Base 64 Variable Length Quantities" looks broken. 1. `shift` can grow large, and an overlong left shift will panic in Rust. I expect an input like "gggggggC" to crash. 2. `accum >>= 1` is wrong because it rounds down. It needs to be a round-towards-zero: `accum /= 2`. 3. `accum` is a 32 bit int which is too small. It needs to be larger so it can represent -2^31 in sign-magnitude form.
