This is still a WIP PR currently only working well with ZFP and Octree compression/decompressions.

Hmmm I see testpackage failing because match is a python 3.10 feature I think. Do we actually need to be compatible with Python <3.10?

Python 3.6 is still the default Python3 for e.g. Lumi and Turso. A prettier elif isn't quite enough to get me to bumb us off of default Python support ;).

This has now been handled by reverting back to an if statement.
To add support for OCTREE I relaxed the requirement of check_population(). Now it will only check whether BLOCKVARIABLE is in the footer and not BLOCKIDS as well, since for some of the compression methods BLOCKIDS are not stored.
