In a lzip decompressor, dictionary and output buffer are the same thing.

Makes sense, but still, you should be able to output it more often. Plzip can.

Of course, lzip could be modified to write data in blocks smaller than the

dictionary size, but it would complicate the code for no net benefit; some

uses would become a little faster, while others would become a little slower.

Luckily, you can use lzip or plzip depending on the use case.
