the docs seem to imply gzip files are handled but in https://github.com/mxmlnkn/rapidgzip/releases/tag/rapidgzip-v0.14.0 it mentioned bzip2 is supported too? can u confirm

Yes. First-class support is gzip. But while trying to generalize the architecture to be able to handle LZ4, I added support for other formats. In total, rapidgzip now supports:

Bzip2 decompression may be slightly slower than the original ibzip2 though because of the chunk finder and larger chunk size.
