writing generic code.
same reason as why we prefer:

The situations aren't comparable. The to!double case is parameterizing
with a type, the compress one is not. Secondly, compress(lzw) does
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but turn around and call lzw. It adds nothing.
That "absolutely" based on limited personal experience is the biggest

It's a point, but "biggest" is also kind of too much and based on
