 * A standard encoder class. This method is discussed in many
 * textbooks; one is: Turbo Coding for Satellite and Wireless
 * Communications by Soleymani, Gao, and Vilaipornsawai.
 * Given a generator matrix in systematic form,
 * \f$\mathbf{G}=\left[\mathbf{I}_{k}|\mathbf{P}\right]\f$,
 * where \f$\mathbf{I}_{k}\f$ is the identity matrix and
 * \f$\mathbf{P}\f$ is the parity submatrix, the information
 * word \f$\bar{s}\f$ is encoded into a codeword
 * \f$\overline{x}\f$ via:
 * \f[\overline{x}=\mathbf{G}^{T}\bar{s}\f]
