Please have a look at lz4 - it's just awesome.
Like ketmar mentioned, lzma is by far more relevant these days than rar.

Actually only few deimos bindings have dub packages. Seems like It's supposed to just copy the code to your project, which is not very nice.
Also, out of topic, is there a way to propose binding to deimos? Did not find anything on that.

Deimos is pre dub. Really deimos as a concept can be stopped now.

A first draft of the interfaces is available here:

Please feel free to tear to pieces, make suggestions, etc.

I'm impressed an interface has been started!

Anyway, take a look at e.g. IWritableCapsuleArchive.
There is a LOT more whitespace needed to be added in that file.

Could you elaborate?

Functions/etc in the interfaces are grouped by purpose (opIndexAssign/opSliceAssign are grouped because they're related operators; fileName and lastModifed because they're both bits of metadata; put and save because they're both range interface functions).

Basically there is no lines between one function declaration and another.

E.g.

/// description here
/// and here
/// one more
void func() { ... }
/// description here
/// and here
/// and yes one more
void func2() { ... }

I've added some extra white-space.

Awesome thanks, it'll make it a little easier to get it through review.
There is still a few things left to fix, but no issue for now.
