It is. For 77 file-per-dir reasons (and case sensitivity) most of the library
is zipped up as !Perl/lib/zip
It's also quite deliberate that that file is not filetype DDC (Archive)
[if you have SparkFS or suchlike then setting it to DDC will work, but I
think that it will be marginally slower]

I believe that all of this is in the documentation.
