There's nothing in the OIIO library itself that handles compression -- it
assumes that data is compressed/decompressed by the underlying format library
(libtiff, IlmImf, libjpeg, etc.) and the whole point is to hide those details
from the app that is using the OIIO APIs.
Custom ImageInput/ImageOutputs may be defined internal to an app or as a
plugin. It would be possible to make an ImageInput/ImageOutput pair that "looks
like" it's reading/writing from files, but actually is communicating over a
socket or via a memory buffer. They would be responsible for their own
compression and communication.
