This is not usable with bzip2. Bzip2 uses large block size and unconsumed_tail
can be non empty but decompress() will return b''. With zlib you possible can
see the same effect on some input when read by one byte.

It looks interesting. However the data should be copied anyway if the input
data is not a bytes object.
