There is a github issue that expressed confusion about the "Compatibility" section of "ch-compression.rst".
The words in the man page is indeed confusing, and some points are no longer correct either.
Considering how complex the direct IO and compression thing is, I didn't come up with a correct answer until reading the code.
So update that section to provide a more straightforward result.
Issue: #1015
