I frequently open gzipped files (PPD files on Mac OS X) and find it frustrating to have to gunzip them and gzip them back up so I added transparent gzip decompression to nano. It's not perfect because I threw it together in about 30 minutes, but it works well for me and I have not yet encountered any issues. It will also ignore the .gz extension when determining colour syntax highlighting.

Hello Dave,
Thanks for the submission, but... couldn't this be achieved by aliasing 'nano' to a script that does the gzip detection and then the possibly needed decompression and recompression?
Also, seeing that this is not really a patch but a tarball of files, I'm going to close this.
