    def __init__(self, codes, fields=('code',), map_maker=dict):
        ''' Create recoder object

        ``codes`` give a sequence of code, alias sequences
        ``fields`` are names by which the entries in these sequences can be
        accessed.

        By default ``fields`` gives the first column the name
        "code".  The first column is the vector of first entries
        in each of the sequences found in ``codes``.  Thence you can
        get the equivalent first column value with ob.code[value],
        where value can be a first column value, or a value in any of
        the other columns in that sequence.

        You can give other columns names too, and access them in the
        same way - see the examples in the class docstring.

        Parameters
        ----------
        codes : seqence of sequences
            Each sequence defines values (codes) that are equivalent
        fields : {('code',) string sequence}, optional
            names by which elements in sequences can be accessed
        map_maker: callable, optional
            constructor for dict-like objects used to store key value pairs.
            Default is ``dict``.  ``map_maker()`` generates an empty mapping.
            The mapping need only implement ``__getitem__, __setitem__, keys,
            values``.

    Whether we can actually cast int to uint when we don't have an intercept

    ''' Helper function for writing arrays to file objects

    Writes arrays as scaled by `intercept` and `divslope`, and clipped
    at (prescaling) `mn` minimum, and `mx` maximum.

    * Clip `data` array at min `mn`, max `max` where there are not None ->
      ``clipped`` (this is *pre scale clipping*)
    * Scale ``clipped`` with ``clipped_scaled = (clipped - intercept) /
      divslope``
    * Clip ``clipped_scaled`` to fit into range of `out_dtype` (*post scale
      clipping*) -> ``clipped_scaled_clipped``
    * If converting to integer `out_dtype` and `nan2zero` is True, set NaN
      values in ``clipped_scaled_clipped`` to 0
    * Write ``clipped_scaled_clipped_n2z`` to fileobj `fileobj` starting at
      offset `offset` in memory layout `order`

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array-like
        array or array-like to write.
    fileobj : file-like
        file-like object implementing ``write`` method.
    out_dtype : None or dtype, optional
        dtype to write array as.  Data array will be coerced to this dtype
        before writing. If None (default) then use input data type.
    offset : None or int, optional
        offset into fileobj at which to start writing data. Default is 0. None
        means start at current file position
    intercept : scalar, optional
        scalar to subtract from data, before dividing by ``divslope``.  Default
        is 0.0
    divslope : None or scalar, optional
        scalefactor to *divide* data by before writing.  Default is 1.0. If
        None, there is no valid data, we write zeros.
    mn : scalar, optional
        minimum threshold in (unscaled) data, such that all data below this
        value are set to this value. Default is None (no threshold). The
        typical use is to set -np.inf in the data to have this value (which
        might be the minimum non-finite value in the data).
    mx : scalar, optional
        maximum threshold in (unscaled) data, such that all data above this
        value are set to this value. Default is None (no threshold). The
        typical use is to set np.inf in the data to have this value (which
        might be the maximum non-finite value in the data).
    order : {'F', 'C'}, optional
        memory order to write array.  Default is 'F'
    nan2zero : {True, False}, optional
        Whether to set NaN values to 0 when writing integer output.  Defaults
        to True.  If False, NaNs will be represented as numpy does when
        casting; this depends on the underlying C library and is undefined. In
        practice `nan2zero` == False might be a good choice when you completely
        sure there will be no NaNs in the data. This value ignored for float
        outut types.  NaNs are treated as zero *before* applying `intercept`
        and `divslope` - so an array ``[np.nan]`` with an `intercept` of 10
        becomes ``[-10]`` after conversion to integer `out_dtype` with
        `nan2zero` set.  That is because you will likely apply `divslope` and
        `intercept` in reverse order when reading the data back, returning the
        zero you probably expected from the input NaN.

    The large integers lead to python long types as max / min for type.
    To contain the rounding error, we need to use the maximum numpy
    float types when casting to float.
