> “Hi, tool author here.” A useful explanation of Burrows-Wheelers transform as used by bzip3

FWIW, the Burrows-Wheelers transform is also used by bzip2, so this isn’t a new feature even though that quote kinda sounds like it is.

It’s also used in this paper blending an aspect of LZ77 with BWT:

Which leads me to wonder if someone did, in fact, solve how to ‘combine zstd and bzip’ (so to speak) since the last time.
