If we care about `make check` rather than `make installcheck`, it
seems to me that a solution already exists in the shape of C function
called through the main regression test suite. And for the specific
case of this thread, I could live with two new functions in regress.c
that are then called in compression.sql.
Would this idea work for you when it comes to this proposal?
