But only if compression is turned on for a filesystem.

Of course, and the default is off.

However I think it would be good to have an API so application can
decide what to compress and what not.

I agree that an API would be good. However I don't think using the API should allow an application to write compressed data if the file system has that functionality turned off. Its a policy thing if the admin has compression off it is off for a reason. Or maybe what we need is another property value for compression that allows the app to request it but by default we don't do it.
