<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>This function performs the arithmetic encoding of one symbol. The
function receives a bit that is to be encoded and a context with which
to encode it.</p>
<pre><code>       &lt;p&gt;Each context has a current MPS and an index describing what the 
       current probability is for the LPS. Each bit is encoded and if the
       probability of the LPS exceeds .5, the MPS and LPS are switched.&lt;/p&gt;
