    // There are three ways we can unzip (inflate) to a stream.
    // 
    // 1) Set a sink file on the stream object and call UnzipToStream synchronously.
    //    This unzips to the stream's sink (which is to simply unzip to a file in the filesystem).
    // 
    // 2) Create a stream object and call UnzipToStreamAsync.  This starts the unzip in a background
    //    thread (after Task.Run is called).  Your application can then read the unzipped (inflated) file
    //    directly from the stream.
    // 
    // 3) (not shown in this example) Unzip to a stream object that is the source of something else.
