LASzip compression can be many times smaller and many times faster than
-`bz2`_, `gzip`_, and `rar`_ because it takes advantage of knowing what the
-different bytes in a LAS file represent.

-Another advantage of LASzip over generic compressors is that it allows you to
-treat the compressed LAZ files just like standard LAS files and load them
-directly from compressed form into your application without the need to
-decompress and write out the data in an uncompressed form. The availability of
-the two APIs `libLAS`_ and `lasLIB`_ with LASzip capability makes it easy to
