This relies on bsdcat from archive-tools, which supports more formats than just gzip or, failing that, falls back to gunzip -c with a warning. Previously[1], @sharkdp stated that bat would not support compressed files, but would be open in implementing a wrapper. There was another implementation proposed elsewhere[2], but it seems overengineered to me. [1] sharkdp#642 (comment) [2] sharkdp#237 (comment)

I don't know how to hook this up in the Rust build system, I'm sorry. It would also be nice to run shellcheck on this in CI, which I'm also unfamiliar with. It is, at least, currently shellcheck-clean. SC3040 is the pipefail stuff, and I don't go through the silly workaround they propose of doing a tempfile.
