That's an interesting problem.
The solution is probably also very interesting, but I don't quite see
how. `c' just puts the bytes in a buffer and calls `normal-mode',
which will make the right mode appear. However, for strange modes
like tar mode, that just doesn't seem to work -- it gets triggered
even though the file is called .tar.gz, but doesn't seem to accept
having gzipped contents.
So -- should `c' run stuff through jka to decompress things? And how
is that done without actually putting things in a file? Anybody got
any ideas?
