Description

flate2 is fast, but it would be nice to have a default pure rust compression library so we wouldn't need to have the serialization feature stuff.

Presumably this would go along with allowing the user to specify which compression option to use, perhaps via generifying on the compressor.

Research direction

Start by examining the current flate2 dependency and serialization feature configuration. Then trace how compression is selected and where a compressor abstraction would fit; the issue does not specify implementation locations, tests, or concrete acceptance criteria, so those decisions are still needed.
