Contiguous storage compression


Explanation

Support compression of contiguously stored datasets. Currently only chunked datasets can be compressed. One user would like to be able to read compressed data (especially compressed text) out of an HDF5 dataset with a non-HDF5 program. Could this be accomplished in some other way, such as giving them a pointer to compressed chunks, or through a high level API?.
