Description
by "in-place" I mean the user would pre-allocate a Vector{UInt8} or something as the sink
sometimes decompression is needed for low-level stuff, such as handling "buffers" in a file spec, and multiple decompression together assemble the entire data blob.
it would be nice if there's a in-place interface that support multiple algorithms through this central package.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing codec interfaces in TranscodingStreams.jl and how callers currently provide output buffers. Compare the requirements for preallocated Vector{UInt8} sinks, multiple decompression algorithms, and assembling separate decompressed buffers. Done means the project has a defined, consistent in-place interface and documented behavior.
