Research direction

Start by locating the existing compression-format test cases and reference files, then compare their coverage with the bz2 and lzma implementations. Done means adding cases and reference files for both formats so their behavior can be verified across platforms.

Description

bug

There are no test cases/reference files for the newly added bz2 and lzma compression formats. That makes it hard to verify that the implementation works on all platforms.
