I wanted to integrate the gz support with the decorateStream method,
therefore I was waiting for this PR to be merged.
I can of course skip the seek, but I thought that forward seeking would be
useful as it enables splittable file formats.
> Allowing users to decorate input streams

> Priority: Minor
>
> Users may have to do unforeseeable operations on file input streams before
> they can be used by the actual input format logic, e.g., exotic compression
> formats or preambles such as byte order marks. Therefore, it would be useful
> to provide the user with a hook to decorate input streams in order to handle
> such issues.
