Description
Hello,
Since zstandard are a bit new compression algorithm packages in Linux distro not always exists. But distro packages for pip is very common and can provide python-zstandard.
What do you think about provide a small command line interface to your library for working with files like [zstd binary](http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/zstd/)?
It can improve popularity of zstd due effort-less installation. See at ``python -mgzip -d aa.txt.gz`` in [CPython](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/03020cfa97b6c2c80f50fb2d07025aff49c3513c/Lib/gzip.py#L535) too.
Greetings,

Research direction
Start by comparing the requested file-oriented CLI with the linked zstd binary and CPython's gzip.py example. Define the supported commands, input and output behavior, and installation entry point; the work is done when those requirements are implemented and the interface is verified against them.
