explore extending branchwater plugin to load zip files for prefetch and gather, entirely on rust side?
this could be a good & substantive next step towards higher-level oxidation of sourmash internals - what if we added a load_from
plugin entry point to branchwater that loaded zip files, and supported the Index
API / passed the index API tests?
this could potentially then support multithreaded prefetch, and hence faster gather.
it would take a while to work, but we could do it incrementally, I suspect...
