I agree, it is the minimal required improvement.  Please check it in.

I think what we want to do is auto-uncompress streams only where we
invisibly requested the content encoding... i.e., if the caller
explicitly asked for a particular content-encoding, we should take
note of that and return the uninterpreted stream.  I think this could
be done with only minor changes in Request.

I'm hoping Chris will comment on this.  Hint, hint.
