Uncompressed size missing when calling `lzma.LZMA().compress` #119

Thank you very much for your work on this project.

I've noticed the uncompressed file size is set to 0xffffffffffffffff when using lzma.LZMA().compress with a Buffer, but I was expecting to find the actual size since it is known. Is there a specific reason for it? Is the End Of Payload Marker used under the hood?
