I had to separately record the number of bytes. Then when I decode, just pull off that number of bytes.

Hi, I'm trying to encode base64 data by composing base64_from_binary with transform_width but this doesn't appear to work correctly when the data is not a multiple of 3 long. What is the correct way to handle this - do I have to handle the padding myself by extending the input data and then patching the tail of the result?
