Google released a new JPEG coding library JpegLi

https://opensource.googleblog.com/2024/04/introducing-jpegli-new-jpeg-coding-library.html

The claim is that JpegLi has a better compression efficiency.
Could Jpegoptim benefit from that?

Clearly much better according to the stats:

and opensource:

Thanks, JpegLi looks interesting. Shouldn't be too hard to manually compile jpegoptim against it. But adding support to current github workflows though would seem to be bit more involved.
