Comment (by Craig Smith):
Hi All, I've updated the PR with the `compress_b64encode` and
`b64decode_decompress` methods extracted into the `django.core.signing`
module. I could use some help with the names, should they be `compress`
and `decompress` or mention the b64 encoding as in the current PR?
Also, the encoding from string to bytestring and back again needs some
thinking. If the compress/decompress methods are going to be used by
client code (as indeed they might be to extract raw messages from
`req.cookies['messages'].value`) then getting `decompress` to return a
string instead of a bytestring would be better. And `compress` should be
modified to accept a string. That will probably be my next step when I get
back to this during the week.
