What happened to the changelog? The earlier version at least had some
rudimentary benchmarking results, but now we don't even have that.
Someone should prepare the information explaining why we added this to
Linux, and I'd prefer that person be you rather than me! Certainly it
should include performance measurements - both speed and space. Also
it should capture our thinking regarding all the other decompressors,
explaining why we view it as acceptable to add yet another one.
Please, put yourself in the position of someone reading these commits
in 2017 wondering "why did they merge this". We should tell them.
