Would be nice to do something like:

.script
  i8 pack.huff pack.lz77 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
.end

and also:

.pack huff
  .pack lz77
    .i8 1, 2, 3, 4
    .embed 'file.bin'
  .end
.end

BIOS compression algorithms, according to GBATEK:

  • BitUnPack bit
  • Diff8bitUnFilter diff
  • HuffUnComp huff
  • LZ77UnComp lz77
  • RLUnComp rle

Also, maybe a best option, which would try all of them, and pick whichever is smallest -- decompression works via checking the header.
