+This package provides a pure interface for compressing and decompressing
+streams of data represented as lazy ByteStrings. It uses the zlib C library
+so it has high performance. It supports the "zlib", "gzip" and "raw"
+compression formats.
+
+It provides a convenient high level API suitable for most tasks and for the
+few cases where more control is needed it provides access to the full zlib
+feature set.
