Because it's unlikely (how many people are going to disable

it'll be terrible. Rather than force auto-compression-mode ON temporarily,
if you really insist on handling this case, just detect it and output
a warning like "can't read it 'cause you foolishly disabled
auto-compression-mode".
I think the warning is a good alternative. It would be very good if this
also could handle the case when there is no software available to handle
the compression (as might be the case on w32) in other situations (than
accessing tutorials etc).
