lz4.vim

A vim plugin for reading and writing [lz4] frame files. [lz4]: https://github.com/Cyan4973/lz4

When you read a lz4-compressed file, the plugin decompresses it internally and paste the result into the window. And, when you write a file whose extension is lz4, the plugin writes compressed string to the file.

It is a variant of [gzip.vim] plugin included in vim74. [gzip.vim]: http://sourceforge.net/p/vim/code/HEAD/tree/vim7/runtime/autoload/gzip.vim
