So compressed results produced by this can always be decompressed by the generic algorithm, right? If it's only when you decompress that you may encounter failures, then I suggest that we still use the same algorithm name, but fall back at run-time if the result cannot be decompressed by the hardware. Is it possible to fail gracefully and then retry the decompression in this case?
