Description
RLE in full zip is a little tricky as it isn't a transparent encoding. However, we can probably play games with the repetition index to add this at the top level. For example, the repetition index could have (position, index_in_run) tuples.

Research direction
Start by locating the full-zip implementation and existing RLE handling. The issue suggests representing repetition-index entries as (position, index_in_run) tuples, but names no files or tests; done should include a defined approach for adding RLE at the top level and tests covering the resulting full-zip behavior.
