Well, I'm going to nit-pick a little bit and point out there are
situations that a "sane average user" might care what a compressed file
is, so it shouldn't be completely transparent.
Depending on what I'm doing, I might want to put a whole bunch of files
together for storage or transmission, just to keep everything together.
If this case, I would care at least somewhat about dealing directly with
the compressed bundle.
In any event, I'm sure there will be a way to do this, so like I said,
nit-picking. :-)
