Stream decoding is insufficiently lazy

[vmchale]

Right now, it seems impossible to use snappy frames lazily to stream-decode a file (this came up downstream here).

Thanks!

Ya, seems like past self hadn’t figured out streaming with just Data.Binary — I did use the Binary instance directly with conduit. If that’s not an option for you, I think you could also use runGetOrFail recursively. It returns the unconsumed input as a lazy bytestring.

Interestingly, I can’t seem to build the snappy package anymore, even with bos/snappy#6. Are you using a fork? Otherwise, it might be time to either deprecate this package, or maintain the snappy bindings here.

It's broken on mac :( definitely not on Linux but snappy itself has an open PR :)
