jka-compr.el doesn't recognise gzipped files from their magic bytes

I'm using an application which saves natively in .sif format, or
optionally in .sifz format, which is the same as .sif, only gzipped.

Opening a .sifz file in Emacs shows binary junk - Emacs doesn't
recognise that it's really a gzipped file, even though it does know
the 'magic' string that identifies all .gz files (see the value of
jka-compr-compression-info-list).

So shouldn't jka-compr look for the magic strings, and identify
gzipped files that way?

I notice that '.svgz', the common name for gzipped .svg vector
graphics files has been hardcoded into jka-cmpr-hook.el, rather than
adding general support for gzipped files, whatever the extension.
