Compression Formats

Why bothering supporting all formats, when we can use single turing-complete data format and eval would be a decompressor? Then anyone could use it's own private compression algorithm.

I.e. use Lisp's lambda as compression format, then Lisp's eval would be a decoder. You can store any imaginable data inside lambdas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_encoding)

you're suggesting that the only way to read a file would be to execute it
you are already "executing" files by the miracle of read() syscall

like we can't bundle README files with datasets
README should be autogenerated, based on the options program supports and it's usage.
