Initial Description
problem 11, modified run-length encoding
========================================
If an element has no duplicates, mark it as such. 

Example:

    encodeModified "aaaabccaadeeee"

    [Multiple 4 'a',Single 'b',Multiple 2 'c',
        Multiple 2 'a',Single 'd',Multiple 4 'e']

problem 12, Decode a run-length encoded list. 
=============================================
Given a run-length code list generated as specified in problem 11. Construct its uncompressed version. 

Example:

    decodeModified 
       [Multiple 4 'a',Single 'b',Multiple 2 'c',
        Multiple 2 'a',Single 'd',Multiple 4 'e']

    "aaaabccaadeeee"
