I'm trying to create the equivalent of PHP's unpack. I've noticed the project PHPJS doesn't have it. I need it for the implementation of base32_encode and base32_decode (using Crockford's alphabet '0123456789ABCDEFGHJKMNPQRSTVWXYZ').

I couldn't find it anywhere and judging from it's counterpart, PHPJS's pack function I doubt my version will be plete and bug free any time soon.
