Looks like `tar --auto-compress` doesn't recognize suffixes '.z' and '.tzo', though there are documented in `man gzip` and `man lzop` respectively.

With the following code

```bash
for ext in .z .tzo; do
  mkdir -p test && cd test
  mkdir -p files
  touch files/{1,2,3}
  tar --create --file "test$ext" files/{1,2,3} --auto-compress
  mkdir -p extracted_files
  tar --extract --file "test$ext" --directory extracted_files
  file "test$ext"
  cd ..
done
```

I expected the following output

```
test.z: gzip compressed data, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 10240
test.tzo: lzop compressed data - version 1.040, LZO1X-1, os: Unix
```

but actually got

```
test.z: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
test.tzo: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
```
