See spray/spray#987

In spray, you could add a `decode(...)` clause to your pipeline to add support for a single decoder. As noted in the ticket it would make sense to provide also an automatic solution that tries all known decodes.

Research direction

Start with the referenced spray/spray#987 issue and the described pipeline decode(...) behavior. Clarify the expected high-level response decompression and automatic handling of known decoders from the issue discussion; done means the agreed client behavior is supported and verified by appropriate tests.
