S3 Compatible?

[Tom Glod]

Hi Andre,

Monte mentioned above that he didn't know about it at the time he created
the library,
and I guess no one needed it badly enough to request a feature enhancement
until September 24, 2020
I can't even imagine the number of things a development platform like lc
must keep track of to stay up to date.
I also wonder how many people in the world are truly familiar with the LC's
C++ source code.
2 maybe 3?
