Add gzip (`.gz`) support
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
.NET and .NET Framework supports Gzip already, has for a long time:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.compression.gzipstream
Here's an example function that makes it easy to use in PowerShell:
- https://scatteredcode.net/download-and-extract-gzip-tar-with-powershell/
Thus it makes sense to add support for gzip (.gz
) for cmdlets like Expand-Archive
.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
