Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The highest window size specifiable is --memory=2048M. , even though modern computers have more memory at their disposal.
Describe the solution you'd like I suggest allowing any window size supported by a computer.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There is already lrzip, but looking at its changelog, new versions frequently break compatibilitiy with existing versions. I hope that when zst implements window size limits beyond 2048M, the first version to support it will at least be able to read from archives created in future versions.
