Hmm - why would you do that? How much data, if any, can you safe by compressing it as to compared with the classic Base64?

It depends on the data. Base64 adds ~33% overhead, while NUMBASE can be encoded into one large number at once and compressed with Huffman or other algorithms. For some data types this results in fewer extra characters.
