Won't help too much, until gzip's output is piped back too, so a
replacement for COPY .. TO STDOUT COMPRESSED would be
COPY ... TO '| /bin/gzip |' STDOUT, to enable clients to receive the
reduced stuff.
Forgot to mention:
COPY COMPRESSED was also meant to introduce a portable format that's
efficient for both text and binary data. Relying on some external XYZzip
version seems not too portable to me.
