Description: Streamlines and accelerates the process of saving and
        loading R objects, improving speed and compression compared to
        other methods. The package provides two compression formats:
        the 'qs2' format, which uses R serialization via the C API
        while optimizing compression and disk I/O, and the 'qdata'
        format, featuring custom serialization for slightly faster
        performance and better compression. Additionally, the 'qs2'
        format can be directly converted to the standard 'RDS' format,
        ensuring long-term compatibility with future versions of R.
