Shame gzip has one but zlib does not, that would be a very useful addition: some software create raw zlib streams on disk (e.g. git) and there’s no standard decompressor, you need to either prepend a fake gzip header, go through openssl, qpdf‘s zlib-flate, or pigz -z.

After looking into it, turns out gzip is a python module while zlib is a native (C) module. And I can find no hook to support `-m` with native modules.
