Description

Just checking whether there's any interest here to support libaec as a codec. It's made primarily for 16/32bit unsigned integers with low entropy and in that sense somewhat specific (but a lot of big data applications fall into this category) but it doesn't look too hard to create a jll for it and write a CodecLibaec.jl wrapper for it.
