Research direction

Start by reading the decompress interceptor implementation and the code that emits its experimental warning; the issue does not name their file paths. Remove the warning when creating the interceptor, then verify that creation works without the warning and that decompression behavior remains intact.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

This would solve...

It would allow jsdom, which uses Undici's lower-level features, to reuse Undici's maintained decompression interceptor, instead of bundling our own.

The implementation should look like...

Remove the experimental warning on creating a decompress interceptor.

I have also considered...

Just copying it into jsdom. That is the current solution.

Additional context

I thought even if you aren't ready to expose it now, a tracking issue might be appreciated.
