Yeah, I saw that. I was actually part-way through implementing 
the DEFLATE algorithm when I realized the interface should 
probably be a community decision. Then I ran out of time...

I'm willing to contribute code, but I feel any contribution would 
have to wait until std.serialization has gone through review. I'd 
ultimately prefer something simple like my PR: 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/885, but 
I'm hesitant to add yet another item to the review queue, 
especially since std.serialization may obsolete my work.

Is this due to the review process review? Who do I bug to get 
things underway? I'd offer to act as review manager, but I don't 
feel I have enough clout in the community to do so.
