I'd appreciate a change of the default! Every tgz is application/gzip,
but not every application/gzip is a tgz. Also, it seems to me that the
parsers should be able to decompress the first few bytes and check for
the tar magic bytes at offset 257, if it were important to differentiate
between a gz and tgz on specific files (if this is not already done).
Is it possible to change this behavior with a custom-mimetypes file? I
tried redefining application/gzip with a higher magic priority, removing
the tgz entry, but I still saw .tgz when asking the mime repository.

gzip extension, but probably not the most common / universal
