/**
 * Decodes a uuencoded body. The input is expected to be the body of a uuencoded
 * block (the `begin` and `end` lines stripped, body lines joined). Each line
 * starts with a length character that indicates the number of decoded bytes
 * the line carries, followed by groups of four 6-bit characters that encode
 * three bytes. The traditional space-as-zero substitution (backtick) is
 * handled by masking the offset to 6 bits.
