Alias Zlib.deflate as Zlib.dump and Zlib.inflate as Zlib.load

[casperisfine]

load and dump are a very popular naming convention for serializer and such, and defining them allows easy composition.

Example:

class CoderChain
  def initialize(*coders)
    @coders = coders.flatten
  end

  def dump(object)
    payload = object
    @coders.each { |c| payload = c.dump(payload) }
    payload
  end

  def load(payload)
    object = payload
    @coders.reverse_each { |c| object = c.load(object) }
    object
  end
end

CoderChain.new(Marshal, Zlib)
CoderChain.new(YAML, Snappy)

I'm +1 to this change.

@akr Do you have any concerns this? I'm not sure what a background of zlib interface.
