LZ4 high compression

[sky93]

How to do high compression (-9) when using compress function?

So, LZ4-HC is actually an entirely different search algorithm to normal LZ4 compression, which (at least here) just uses a very simplistic matching algorithm. We would need to port the LZ4-HC search algorithm to be able to support it, unfortunately. Pull requests welcome.

But LZ4-HC decompression is supported, right?

So it would be a great way to pack stuff at bundle time and decompress it in the client.

Believe so. There might be better lz4 libraries out there nowadays though, depending on your use case.
