Read and write gzip files easily.

[Artem Tarasov]

Wow, that's unexpected :)

Unfortunately, there's no standard module for processing gzip/bz2. The
former can be dealt with using etc.c.zlib, but there's no convenient
interface for working with file as a stream. Thus, the easiest way that I
know of is as follows:

import std.stdio, std.process;
auto pipe = pipeShell("gunzip -c " ~ filename); // replace with pigz if you
wish
File input = pipe.stdout;

Regarding your second request, this forum is not an appropriate place to
provide usage examples for a library, so that will go into a private e-mail.
