When a literal value is not present, it receives a `Weight` of 0.
The least frequent symbol receives a `Weight` of 1.
If no symbol has a `Weight` of 1, then the data is considered corrupted.
If no literal has a `Weight` of 1, then the data is considered corrupted.
If there are not at least two literals with non-zero `Weight`, then the data
is considered corrupted.
The most frequent symbol receives a `Weight` anywhere between 1 and 11 (max).
The last symbol's `Weight` is deduced from previously retrieved Weights,
by completing to the nearest power of 2. It's necessarily non 0.
