I already use zstd_seekable (https://docs.rs/zstd-seekable/) in a project. Could you compare the API's of this crate and yours?

From what I can see zstd-seekable is more closely aligned to the C functions in the zstd repo.
The decompress function in zstd-seekable starts decompression at the beginning of the frame to which the offset belongs and discards data until the offset is reached. It also just stops decompression at the specified offset. Zeekstd uses complete frames as the smallest possible decompression unit, as only the checksum data of a complete frame can be verified.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like you provide the equivalent of Seekable::decompress in zstd_seekable which decompresses at a specific offset, without having to calculate which frame(s) to decompress.
This is basically the only function I use from zstd_seekable, so it would be nice to have that in zeekstd as well.
