      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      zlib supports reading and writing gzip format. (E.g., gzip decoding can be done by passing 16+MAX_WBITS to inflateInit2). It will be nice if Deflate & Inflater could expose this support in addition to the "unwrapped" format they already support.

      Right now, all the knowledge about GZIP headers and trailers lives in GZIPInputStream/GZIPOutputstream, which can't be used in non-blocking contexts.
