Change oasis writer defaults to strict + cblocks, discourage the usage of oas.gz
In order to allow multithreaded oasis reading, would be good for 0.28 to change the default options to write strict oasis with cblocks and to discourage using .gz files.
Changing defaults is easy, but discouraging .gz is difficult - whenever you add ".gz" it's zipped. I don't want to skip that option entirely.
Discouraging as in pop up a warning or info message explaining that cblocks are already compressing the data.
