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

If you have patched zlib, why not contribute them to the upstream

Hello Vinnie, Indeed that would be ideal for everyone. We did have a cxxopts patch accepted recently. To bring that more into the land of modern C++ using std::optional. https://github.com/jarro2783/cxxopts/pull/421 But we were able to refine that and test it quite a bit on our side, first. Similarly for boost::sort https://github.com/boostorg/sort/pull/79 - Nigel
