So this is essentially an optimizer (eg no bogus recursive compression claims). It decompressed specific regions of certain file formats with better algorithms.

A hypothetical (simpler less powerful) equivalent would be a program that read gzip files that have the lowest compression ratio, and then recompressed with gzip set to the highest level.
