Could save a bit of typing by calling is "tls_support_compression" (but

Why not call it "tls_support_compression" as well? Compare
tls_require_ciphers and tls_verify_certificates, which exist both as
main options and as smtp transport options. Besides, people may have
trouble remembering how to spell "preferred" :-)

Seems OK to me.
