This module provides an API to decoding the content of structured barcodes \
like GS1-128 or GS1-Datamatrix.

GS1-128 (formerly known as UCC-128, EAN 128 or UCC/EAN-128), and GS1-Datamatrix \
are standards for encoding item identification and logistics data.
Physically, GS1-128 is represented as a 1-dimension Code-128 barcode and \
GS1-Datamtrix is represented as a 2-dimensions Datamatrix barcode.

When those barcodes are read, their content can be decode into multiple values \
using a set of standard "Application Identifiers". For example, most pharmacy \
items have a GS1-Datamatrix barcode containg their GTIN, lot number and \
expiry date.

This module does not directly allow you to print or scan barcodes.
Instead, the focus of this module is on decoding the data contained in \
barcodes. To this end, it provides objects to fine-tune the Application Identifiers and
the associated data types.

Caveat Emptor: when an "Application Identifiers" has variable-length data, \
the barcodes must contain a special character (<GS>, group separator) \
but as this is not an ASCII character. Some barcdode readers will not include \
this character: decoding the structured data will then be impossible. Other \
readers will translate GS1 to ASCII character 29, but this character is not \
printable, and some applications may not record it. Yet other readers will \
let you configure how to map <GS>, which may help improve compatibility.
