becomes too strict. The input list is being read from disk by lazy I/O. With the original
implementation, the input file gets read at the same time as the output file
is written. But runST returns nothing until the *entire* input has been
compressed. So writing to disk doesn't start until the entire file has been
slurped up into memory. Anybody have any hints on how to get around this? Use a lazy state monad?
