for .phar XZ is nonsense in 2018, compare it with zstd and look at ressources / compression-rates

Hi,
If that feature is ever supported (which I hope and would be awesome), it would also be a nice
addition to add it as a possible compression mode for PHARs as well (see https://github.com/humbug/box/issues/211#issuecomment-387480271)

Wanted to bump this and request that
- Some tests are written to provide some reassurance that the extension is not so likely to bomb out
under production load (case in point: one of the latest commits (from 4 years ago!) is "Fix
SIGSEGV."!!)
- Stream compression be properly supported - the use case I wanted to use this for is not strictly
file-based (I'm doing my own file/protocol/format management).
- LZMA format options be surfaced
- Low-level functionality such as (for example) LZMA protocol streams (not PHP streams!) are exposed
for people who need to shove a lot of data through LZMA2 with fine control
Thanks so much for contributing LZMA2 support to PHP. There are no other extensions that support
this form of compression.
FWIW, because php-xz does not support #2 above I'll have to look for other solutions :( so
I'm just adding this to the record to note the kind of demand that's out there.

By the way, ironically, php itself (!) is distributed as an xz-compressed archive:
