Two questions. One, does this mean that compression will usually be
performed before encryption (which to me, sounds like it appears to be
what would be the best method here)?
Second, will plugins be layerable, e.g. can I use a compression plugin
and a _seperate_ encryption plugin on the _same_ file, and then if so,
can I choose which order in which they take effect?
