Re: Compression libraries such as zlib and zstd ought to be first class boost libraries

For what it's worth, I overwhelmingly agree that Boost should have
compression as a first-class library.

We've lost our way, we keep amalgamating Asio-wrapping libraries but we
don't provide the bread-and-butter functionality that developers actually
need on a day-to-day basis.

Kind of similar for libcrypto. If you want something like cryptographic
hashing, there's nothing in Boost to help.
