gollark: Technically, they're length-prefixed but by zstandard.
gollark: Admittedly, it could probably be stored in the footer and that would work fine.
gollark: It only works because zstandard happens to somehow store said compressed length.
gollark: The best bit is how it doesn't actually know the compressed length of things because that would be annoying to implement.
gollark: Anyway, this archive format is perfect and without flaw.
