Overview
R package fstcore contains R bindings to the C++ fstlib library which allows interfacing with fst files.
It also contains the LZ4 and ZSTD sources used for compression. fstcore exists as a package separate from the
fst package to facilitate independent updates to the fstlib, LZ4 and ZSTD libraries and is used as a
backend to fst.
