It never occurred to me that Vim displays *.gz (gzip'ed) text files
in unzipped form; noticed it just by accident. - That's nice!

What I was wondering about, though, was that it displays the text
file with the marker "[noeol]" despite the text file's last line is
terminated correctly by a '\n'. - A bug? (Observed with Vim 7.3)

Of course the binary *.gz file has "noeol" but since it's displayed
in expanded form that tag is quite misleading and doesn't contribute
any useful information here (IMO).

Janis, curious
