 ;; I have this defined so that .Z files are assumed to be in unix

+;; FIXME? It seems ugly that one has to add "\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?" to
+;; all the regexps here, in order to match backup files etc.
+;; It's trivial to modify jka-compr-get-compression-info to match
+;; regexps against file-name-sans-versions, but this regexp is also
+;; used to build a file-name-handler-alist entry.
+;; find-file-name-handler does not use file-name-sans-versions.
+;; Perhaps it should,
+;; http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-02/msg00812.html,
+;; but it's used all over the place and there are probably other ramifications.
+;; One could modify jka-compr-build-file-regexp to add the backup regexp,
+;; but jka-compr-compression-info-list is a defcustom to which
+;; anything could be added, so it's easiest to leave things as they are.
