Hello,

I'd like to announce the package ocaml-lz4, containing bindings to LZ4,
a very fast lossless compression algorithm. The package will be shortly
available in OPAM.

The source code is available at https://github.com/whitequark/ocaml-lz4.
The documentation is published at 
http://whitequark.github.io/ocaml-lz4/.

Unlike JaneStreet's existing "lz4" package (which is marked as 
alpha-quality,
exposes only an unsafe interface and has seen virtually no changes since 
2012),
this binding exposes a safe interface, supports 4.02 Bytes and has no 
runtime
dependencies except cstubs.

These bindings can also serve as an example for implementation of very 
fast
FFI bindings using cstubs.
