That is a good example.

  brian@desktop:~$ cp /etc/services test
  brian@desktop:~$ file test
  test: ASCII text

  brian@desktop:~$ gzip test

  brian@desktop:~$ file test.gz 
  test.gz: gzip compressed data, was "test", last modified: Tue Nov 17 21:49:33 2015, from Unix

  brian@desktop:~$ mv test.gz test-1

test-1 has no extension. Does gzip have two personalities? :)

  brian@desktop:~$ gunzip < test-1 > test-2

  brian@desktop:~$ file test-2 
  test-2: ASCII text

Interesting. gunzip will decompress a file without an extension. Does it
have two personalities? :)

Alternatively:

  zcat test-1 > test-2

  $mv file other.
  $gunzip -S . other.
  $ls
  other

gunzip is a tool that does seem to care what the files are named.
