Add a chunks_to_gzip function.
This allows the _record_to_data code to build up a list of chunks,
rather than requiring a single string.
It should be ~ the same performance when using a single string, since
we are only adding a for() loop over the chunks and an if check.
We could possibly just remove the if check and not worry about adding
some empty strings in there.

the THIS value, and the THIS value is generally the basis value.  So the

comparison is latent, but present.  The only issue is extracting it.
