/* notes on API design :
* In this proposal, parameters are pushed one by one into an existing CCtx,

* When no parameter is ever provided, CCtx is created with compression level 3.
*
* Another approach could be to load parameters into an intermediate _opaque_ object.
* The object would then be loaded into CCtx (like ZSTD_compress_advanced())
* This approach would be compatible with ZSTD_createCDict_advanced().
* But it's more cumbersome for CCtx, as it requires to manage an additional object.
*
* Below proposal push parameters directly into CCtx.
* It's a bit more complex for CDict, as advanced version now requires 3 steps.
* (basic CDict API remains the same).
* See API details below
