Review Comment:
   Fair question, and the honest answer is that I was not making a deliberate 
choice here so much as following the layout that was already in the codebase. 
ByteStreamSplit is structured exactly the same way: ByteStreamSplitValuesWriter 
nests all five typed writers as public static classes, while its readers live 
in their own files as ByteStreamSplitValuesReaderForDouble, 
ByteStreamSplitValuesReaderForFloat and so on. ALP mirrors that, with the two 
writers nested and AlpValuesReaderForDouble and AlpValuesReaderForFloat 
separate.
   
   So I agree the asymmetry is odd on its own terms, but it is the existing 
convention rather than something new, and matching the neighbouring encoding 
seemed more useful than being internally tidy in a way nothing else in the 
package is.
   
   That said I do not feel strongly about it. If you would rather ALP be 
consistent within itself, splitting the two writers into their own files is a 
small and low risk change and I am happy to do it. It would just leave ALP 
looking different from ByteStreamSplit instead.
