well this sure went wonky.

i didn't manage to add exploring.  yet.

it's 2021-12-02 and i've added zstd-compressed live terminal
recording.  the zstd api can actually flush compressed streams
(losslessly, I think?) at arbitrary byte offsets, which is cool.

current tip commit is 3117f7aed6e4a0ab0b69cd01a557b19beb4615d6

you can view one of my tests with:
pip3 install asciinema
curl https://bico.media/d2e520c99c47188ae3e2f6ee284de4ea085e4350496182194938f438f36a69c8
| zstdcat | asciinema play -

there most pressing issue atm is that it quickly exhausts the mempool
depth limit for the connected electrum node, which then causes a crash
when its next data is rejected.
