 * expects values with MSB first. It needs a full information word and encodes it in one
 * pass. Output is a codeword of block_size.
 *
 * Systematic encoding indicates that the info bit values are present in the codeword.
 * 'info_bit_positions' may be obtained by ordering all non frozen_bit_positions in
 * increasing order. One may extract them at their positions after a bit reversal
 * operation. encoder -> decoder chain would need additional bit-reversal after encoding +
 * before decoding. This is unnecessary.
