I find it really strange that every compression format gets its own top-level stdlib module. Why not compress.lzma and compress.gzip etc., or even compress.open

I find it really strange that every compression format gets its own top-level stdlib module. Why not compress.lzma and compress.gzip etc., or even compress.open(..., format="lzma") ? It seems ad-hoc and disorganized to me.

Try opening a PEP...and volunteering to move them into that namespace. I actually think that is a good idea myself.
