 You have to know how many integers were coded when you decompress. You can store this
-information along with the compressed stream. The
+information along with the compressed stream.
 
 During decoding, the library may read up to `STREAMVBYTE_PADDING` extra bytes
 from the input buffer (these bytes are read but never used).
