It's primarily function is to store application (such as game)
assets in either compressed or uncompressed format, but its
extendability enables it to store longer filenames and other OS
important data, metadata, etc. Currently it's in a preliminary
state, but works with zstd compression (the older zlib to be
added soon, lz4 in a later version), and the hash/checksum
functions haven't been fully implemented.
Goals in the future:
* Add support for fully random access of files where it's
possible (such as in uncompressed mode and zstd with shared
dictionary).
* Collect data on what kind of functions I should add in the
future (such as finalizing the default extension for file
storage).
* Making the library @safe compliant, mostly through @trusted
wrappers and boundary checks towards low-level functions.
