I'm using the following approach to read a file line by line. This is a bogus 
example that only returns each line, but you can imagine I am doing some work 
on each line.
    
    
    iterator line_iterator*(input_filename: string): string =
      var infile: File
      
      if open(infile, input_filename):
        defer: close(infile)
        var line: string
        
        while not endOfFile(infile):
          # Do some real work here
          yield infile.readline.strip
    
    
    Run

I would like to do exactly the same but reading lines within a gzip-compressed 
file (eg: file.gz).

I'm trying to use import zip/gzipfiles and then use File, GzFile, 
GzFileStream... but I'm failing.

What would my code above look like if I was iterating over the lines of a .gz 
file?
