The HCompress algorithm and its options. HCompress is a lossless compression algorithms was developed by Richard L. White at the Space Telescope Science Institute, and is used for the Hubble archive and the STScI Digital Sky Survey. It's weird that it's a package by itself, but that's life.

The only classes in here that users would typically interact with are HCompressorOption and potentially HCompressorQuantizeOption, e.g. via CompressedImageHDU.getCompressOption(Class) to set options after HCompress was selected for compressing an image HDU.
