Is there quick a way to determine the uncompressed size of a
compressed file?

Does gzip have this in its meta-data somehow?

I already know that we can figure this out by doing with-temp-buffer
insert-file-contents() and reading (point-max)-1 if we have auto-
compression-mode enabled.

But is there a faster way?
