I think the existing C API would be a better fit, and the work would likely be a fairly simple modification to the citext extension found in contrib section of the PostgreSQL source if anyone is game.

I'd be inclined to agree.

That said, it'd be easy to prototype with pgx, assuming that compression library exists in the Rust ecosystem too?

I guess this compression library should do the trick [1], but I haven't tested it yet.
