As I wrote before, the extra data written into the output buffer isn't
sensitive because it can only originate from the history buffer (aka
"sliding window"). Also, this data is already exposed today if the
`Inflater` class is being used stand-alone, because in contrast to
`InflaterInputStream::read(..)`, `Inflater::inflate(..)` doesn't
guarantee to leave the content beyond the last read byte unaffected.
Finally, the referenced zlib-chromium implementation with the
mentioned behavior is the default zlib implementation in on Android
and Chrome browsers.
If you are satisfied that flipping bits during an inflate operation
cannot never lead to something bad happening then okay. I'ts important
to ask about such as matters.
