b2a_l() will generate a base-32 encoded string big enough to encode lengthinbits bits. So for
example if os is 2 bytes long and lengthinbits is 15, then b2a_l() will generate a 3-character-
long base-32 encoded string (since 3 quintets is sufficient to encode 15 bits). If os is
2 bytes long and lengthinbits is 16 (or None), then b2a_l() will generate a 4-character string.
Note that b2a_l() does not mask off unused least-significant bits, so for example if os is
2 bytes long and lengthinbits is 15, then you must ensure that the unused least-significant bit
of os is a zero bit or you will get the wrong result. This precondition is tested by assertions
if assertions are enabled.
Warning: if you generate a base-32 encoded string with b2a_l(), and then someone else tries to
decode it by calling a2b() instead of a2b_l(), then they will (probably) get a different
string than the one you encoded! So only use b2a_l() when you are sure that the encoding and
decoding sides know exactly which lengthinbits to use. If you do not have a way for the
encoder and the decoder to agree upon the lengthinbits, then it is best to use b2a() and
a2b(). The only drawback to using b2a() over b2a_l() is that when you have a number of
bits to encode that is not a multiple of 8, b2a() can sometimes generate a base-32 encoded
string that is one or two characters longer than necessary.

significant zero bits and value of lengthinbits, and reject strings that have a length-in-bits
