Well, yes, that will probably be requested, but would require extra
libraries. gzip is "free", since it's already built into 99% of Emacs
builds already. So it smacks of premature overengineering to me. >"?

I think we can rely on external programs for compression. It's not
something that Emacs needs to do efficiently.
