A 2-3% increase in storage volume is roughly equivalent to giving up the gain from LZ4 -> LZ4HC, or a one to two-level bump in Zstandard compression levels. This regression could be very expensive for storage-bound use cases.From the perspective of storage overhead, the unsigned int approach sounds
