The very definition of decoding and encoding is to manipulate the string to the format needed.

no, it's to encode and decode, nothing else. You want encode and then decode something and decoding it has to be what you fed in, not a single bit changed.

Crypto and string optimizing don't mix.

Yeah, it takes an input and spits out something that is someth... we're talking about different things. I'm talking about encoding/decoding like url or html de/encoding. Not cryptography. Decoding in the this sense would transform it from unix-style to windows-style.
