It uses a codebook primed for english text. Since this is for
name mangling, priming for Phobos might be a good idea. E.g.
put "std.", "core.", "etc." into the codebook.
Curiously premaking a few primers as such for languages can give
similar performance with zlib and gzip. I recall back in 2009
doing that when I had xml pages to deal with, it would compress
using all my pages and find the best one and use that. Then
decompression was simply a matter of finding the right CRC32 that
matched it and away it went!
Although, priming something similar for the current id_compress
for early on wouldn't hurt. 'unittest' I see quite a bit,
probably ones including common templates would help too for minor
compression benefits.
