--------------------------------+-----------------------------
 Currently the Requests library checks for zlib in some locations, but not
 others, before using it.

 This means it's possible to get a fatal error because `gzinflate()` is
 undefined, for example when trying to fetch content from the WordPress.org
 API.

 Specifically noticed in `compatible_gzinflate()`, at line 947.
