As suggested by Stephen Compall a while ago, we now do not compress .st
and .xml files anymore in a .star file. Then, we can just open a "view"
of the underlying .zip file if it was stored and not compressed. This
is faster by a good percentage (140ms vs. 80ms, counting 40ms for
startup on my machine...).
Thanks to the "virtual files" feature it is then possible to feed these
views into other VFSHandlers, like this:
(FileStream popen: 'zcat' dir: 'r+')
nextPutAll: (FileStream
open: 'Complex.star#uzip/package.xml#gz' mode: 'r');
shutdown;
