Thanks for working on this! One thing I'm wondering: should it be possible for the client to change the compression it wants mid-connection? I can think of some scenarios where that would be useful to connection poolers: if a pooler does plain forwarding of the compressed messages, then it would need to be able to disable/enable compression if it wants to multiplex client connections with different compression settings over the same server connection.
