For my specific use case, I am transferring binary files (already bzipped)
using SFTP to an embedded system.
Not only would I not benefit from compressing my files again, but I am not
sure that the embedded CPU could handle it.
I would prefer compression as optional and maybe even disabled by default
and an API call to specifically enable it.
