Bitcoin's special ByteString - Integer conversion

asInteger :: ByteString -> Integer

Byte vectors are interpreted as little-endian variable-length integers with the most significant bit determining the sign of the integer. Thus 0x81 represents -1. 0x80 is another representation of zero (so called negative 0). Byte vectors are interpreted as Booleans where False is represented by any representation of zero, and True is represented by any representation of non-zero.

encodeSign :: Sign -> [Word8] -> [Word8]

decodeSign :: [Word8] -> (Sign, [Word8])
