Can we have the option to use Zopfli compression? I have zip files that I want to archive and distribute. This seems like a feature many would appreciate, since it's fully deflate-compatible.

    I'd like this too. It's just another DEFLATE implementation: https://github.com/google/zopfli
    Not "optimal", but has better compression ratio than 7z.
    Please support the --i# option.

      You have zopfli source, all you need to do is to put it in a codec plugin and use it.
      I guess, it would be format, rather than filter, codec, but there are some examples of standalone lz4, lz5, lizard, etc. plugins, which you can use as an example.
      Though here, dev would have to explain how to use this as a codec only, and a one that replaces built-in one and only when ordered to do so.
