The refactoring using callbacks would make the code much cleaner IMO
in the long term, with zstd waiting in the queue. Now, I see some
pieces of the patch set that could be merged now without waiting for
the development cycle of 16 to begin, as of 0001 to add more tests and
0002.

I have a question about 0002, actually. What has led you to the
conclusion that this code is dead and could be removed?
