Description
Points already compress fairly well based on shared prefixes. It would be nice if points could also compress suffixes similarly to how doc values perform GCD compression.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating the existing shared-prefix compression for points and the doc values GCD compression implementation. Done would mean points also support suffix compression with behavior and validation established by the project’s existing tests.
