compression levels -1, 1 or 2

Are the available compression levels not 1-22? Though that might depend on the specific library used - the official lib at least uses 1-22: https://github.com/facebook/zstd/blob/dev/programs/zstd.1.md...

There's negative levels for faster decoding and compression. level -1 uses half the CPU of level 1 and with a custom window size can be really good for streaming compression. I think the negative levels go down to -7 if I remember correctly?
