Description
Seem the Rust crates (*.crate) files are actually a gzipped tarball. It would be nice to be able to open/view/inspect them similarly to regular gzipped tarballs.

Right, it would be ideal if MC could detect the compression before passing the data to eg. tar. Which might be a useful feature in general ...

Well, generally we do have it, but the problem is with nested compression like tar.gz. For this we don't have a great solution. Let's hope that my suggestion is good enough.

We can add it, but it will be annoying if they change compression, because it's formally unspecified:
