Bintable compression is standardized but not recognized by viewers. Therefore, the feature is tagged as experimental but seems to be working when copying an HDU (cannot create compressed table and then write in it like for images). Yet, the feature would be useful in EleFitsCompress, at least for testing.
Question to be asked to CFITSIO devs: is there any hope to get the same level of support as for images?
