Support for CloudFront compressing WASM (WebAssembly) Files?

Question

Is it possible for the `application/wasm` Content-Type to be added to the list of file types that CloudFront will automatically compress?

Relevant references:
- Current list of supported filetypes: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/ServingCompressedFiles.html#compressed-content-cloudfront-file-types
- Registration of `application/wasm` Content Type: https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/wasm

Hi, @gstv

If you have a request for a function, please refer to the following and give us feedback!

If you want to know if the current feature supports it rather than a feature request, unfortunately the answer is "impossible". CloudFront compression types are not user customizable.

If you're looking for a workaround, you may be able to have CloudFront interpret it as a fake file type and compress it by changing the origin response with Lambda @ Edge. This experiment looks interesting so I would like to try it.
