[uasllhvk] Mandelbrot as breadth-first quadtree

Generate the fractal Mandelbrot set (points are either in or out, not colorful escape time of the points that are outside) and encode it as a quadtree.  Serialize the quadtree breadth first, generating an infinite string, essentially the set from most significant to least significant "bits" (though the naive way to encode quadtrees is base 3).

A neat unending computation project.

Are their any squares in the Mandelbrot set for which it is unusually difficult to determine what to do for the corresponding quadtree node?
