Hi Chris,

Is there any chance we could get a vzs flag for --pheno?

There are examples like protein expression that have thousands of phenotypes and the uncompressed files are getting very large.

cheers,

Jared

‘vzs’ just relates to file extensions.  —pheno can already read gzipped or zstd-compressed files.
