I've bumped into this previously. It allocates a lot of

If you can PR any of it to me, I'll merge.
It actually has been on my todo list for a while to change the
decoder to generate less garbage. I have had trouble in the past
with temporary arrays being pinned by false pointers and the
memory use ballooning from that, and the lifetime is really easy
to manage so just malloc/freeing it would be an easy solution,
just like you said, std.zlib basically sucks so I have to use the
underlying C functions and I just haven't gotten around to it.
