This enables having commands that operate on plain files to not need to know if they're compressed or not. It doesn't depend on the file extension, but on what file(1) says of it.

This is a quick way to run a command that does not itself support compressed files, without manually uncompressing the files. The following compression types are supported: gz bz2 Z xz lzma lzo If zrun is linked to some name beginning with z, like zprog, and the link is executed, this is equivalent to executing "zrun prog". =cut
