I don't think it is wise to bake gzip into the API.  These days, there
really are better options than gzip both in terms of compression ratio
and decompress speed.

I'd suggest just saying "file may be compressed" and leave it up to the
packagers build system and `xl` choices to agree on which compression
(if any) to use.
