/*
Ox.Image provides a pair of methods, <code>encode</code> and
<code>decode</code>, which can be used for
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography">steganography</a>, i.e. to
add a hidden message to an image.<br><br>
The signature of the <code>encode</code> function is
<code>image.encode(message, deflate, mode, callback)</code>.
<code>deflate</code> turns deflate-compression on or off, and <code>mode</code>
determines which bits of the image the message will be written to &mdash; but
for most purposes, the default values (<code>true</code> and <code>0</code>)
are fine, so <code>deflate</code> and <code>mode</code> can be omitted.<br>
<br>
In this example, we demonstrate a valid use case for <code>deflate</code> and
<code>mode</code>: To encode an decoy message (a line of text), which will be
relatively easy to detect, and then the the actual message, (another image,
itself containing another line of text), which will be harder to detect.

    So we first encode two lines text into two images, by writing them bit by
    bit (without compression, <code>deflate = false</code>), into the least
    significant bit of each 8-bit RGB value (<code>mode = 1</code>). Then we
    encode one image into the other: We take the (deflate-compressed,
    <code>deflate = true</code>) data URL of the source image and flip, if
    needed, the second least significant bit of each RGB value of the target
    image, so that the number of bits set to 1, modulo 2 (for example: 10101010
    -&gt; 0), is the bit we're encoding (<code>mode = -1</code>). As the least
    significant bit remains untouched, this will preserve the encoded text.
