// Overall approach here:
// Zstd can be used on the whole array (values_per_frame = 0), resulting in a single Zstd
// frame, or it can be used with a dictionary (values_per_frame < # values), resulting in
// multiple Zstd frames sharing a common dictionary. This latter case is helpful if you
// want somewhat faster access to slices or individual rows, allowing us to only
// decompress the necessary frames.

// Visually, during decompression, we have an interval of frames we're
// decompressing and a tighter interval of the slice we actually care about.
// |=============values (all valid elements)==============|
// |<-skipped_uncompressed->|----decompressed-------------|
//                              |------slice-------|
//                              ^                  ^
// |<-slice_uncompressed_start->|                  |
// |<------------slice_uncompressed_stop---------->|
// We then insert these values to the correct position using a primitive array
// constructor.
