 So I guess the proper thing to do would be to check for the FNAME bit
 in the FLG byte, and if it's not set, I guess we could either accept
 the file without prejudice, or print a message indicating that the
 name has been stripped and that -f should be used. 
I wasn't aware of "gzip -n" or "gzip --no-name" when I wrote the
original function.  How does the attached patch work for you?
Instead of either suggestion above, it will just print a NOTE if
you don't use "-f".
