Phar::canCompress — Returns whether phar extension supports compression using either zlib or bzip2
This should be used to test whether compression is possible prior to loading a phar archive containing compressed files.
Either Phar::GZ or Phar::BZ2 can be used to test whether compression is possible with a specific compression algorithm (zlib or bzip2).
TRUE if compression/decompression is available, FALSE if not.
