It can be useful to get whatever remaining data there exists in the decompression stream for further processing. This is currently possible by creating a zlib.decompressobj and accessing its unused_data member, but that is quite cumbersome. The attached patch adds a 'tail' keyword argument to zlib.decompress which causes the result to be a 2-tuple, with the first part containing the decompressed data, and the second containing any remaining data
