!! `olc-encode` operator

The `old-encode` operator converts separate latitude and longitude numbers into an [[OpenLocationCode|https://github.com/google/open-location-code]] shortcut code with a specified length (defaults to 11 characters).

```
[olc-encode[51.751944],[-1.257778]]
[olc-encode[51.751944],[-1.257778],[11]]
```
