Offer a read-only dry-run mode using the compression API, simulating the effects of compacting a folder without actually doing it.

This allows for a safe way to present a user with potential savings, and offers an opportunity to validate excludes and compresstimation both more efficiently than actually performing compaction, and more accurately than relying on lz4 as a stand-in.

This links with the desire to benchmark algorithms, which also requires compression API access.
