when a flag is repeated very often (like in "QAAA
AAAD") one gets easily confused and lost.

idea: an ever changing offset (ala "one time pad"),
depending on the flag position; "QAAA AAAD" would then
become "QBCD EFGK" or "QBCD ABCG" or....

repetitions will still occur, but most likely not so often.

    in practice this has not been a real problem.
    the longest repeated sequence we ever experienced in
    real-life was 4*A, and everybody was fine (but our
    transmission speed was not that high....)

    i leave this open, as it will probably be implemented one
    day (optionally)
