Re: [idn] ACE37,AMCW and LDUDE

codeblock shifting does good for ACE37, but not for DUDE.

The previous argument does not hurt ACE37's usefulness.
It cleverly uses
"base37" to utilize  shifted xor diff distrubutions. Good idea.

But the shifting will not benefit other "base16" ACEs (DUDE?).
That's the point.
