Thanks.  Actually I think adding "xz" is incorrect anyway.  We
support compressed tarballs, not arbitrary compressed files.
Therefore the list should be

  7z|bz2|tar\\.gz|tar\\.xz|tgz|txz|zip

correct?

Well, then it should be tar.bz2, too. And since this is a regex
anyway:

   7z|tar\\.bz2|tar\\.[gx]z|t[xg]z|zip

Yes, correct.

I still like the original "list all the extensions separately and explicitly" technique rather than "'simplifying' the regex" -- because the first one is an "easier to parse as a human being" regex. Also, it's "more greppable" if somebody is looking for .gz or .xz or tgz or txz.
