That way if a file is called .GZ, it will still be handled properly; in
fact, all files would still be handled properly.  And these formats
leave notes in the first few bytes of the file as to if they should be
tried, so it's not as if it would come at some performance cost.

Interesting thought. Do all the decompressors throw an error if the input format
isn't recognized?
