There are such file representations are text, image, unibyte, literal, hex dump, etc. And using this term in the context of `load' is very confusing. The purpose of this variable can be mistakenly interpreted as specifying what file representation `load' uses.
In practice, `load-file-rep-suffixes' handles compressed representations of a file if and only if Auto Compression mode is enabled. Theoretically, it could be used to let load handle other forms of a file too, but I could not really immediately think of which ones, since in the context of load we are talking exclusively about Elisp files. I would not immediately see a need to support loading, say, encrypted Lisp files.
