We already have these (except for 7z I guess):
--gzip : Compress using gzip (default if detected)
--pigz : Compress with pigz
--zstd : Compress with zstd
--bzip2 : Compress using bzip2 instead of gzip
--pbzip2 : Compress using pbzip2 instead of gzip
--bzip3 : Compress using bzip3 instead of gzip
--xz : Compress using xz instead of gzip
--lzo : Compress using lzop instead of gzip
--lz4 : Compress using lz4 instead of gzip
please add compression support
Is it possible to add more compression support?
for xz add option
--xz: Use xz for compression.
https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz
for 7z add option
--7z: Use 7z for compression.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/files/p7zip/
for zstd add option
--zstd: Use zstd for compression.
https://github.com/facebook/zstd
these 3 formats have much higher compression than gzip or bzip2
please see if this is feasible
