just a thought - if cleanup for making \pdfcompresslevel static makes
the code simpler ("The compression level is now a part of the pdf back-end
structure ..."), maybe there could be an option in the \pdfobj to force
a particular stream to have no compression, instead of making
\pdfcompresslevel dynamic?
something like \pdfobj stream nocompress ...
Best,
