Subject: Subject: 23.0.90; etags can't access .el.gz files

in dir /usr/share/emacs/23.0.90/lisp
M-x shell:
bash-3.1$ etags ./*.el.gz

when true:
(equal tags-file-name "/usr/share/emacs/23.0.90/lisp/TAGS")

M-x tags-search
tags-search

I get this error:
`next-file: Opening input file: no such file or directory,
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.90/lisp/abbrev.el'

When all *.el.gz are uncompressed there isn't a problem :)
However if any of the .el files are *.el.gz i get the error.

Can tags open the (now) default .el.gz files in ~emacs/*/lisp/

Shouldn't emacs decompress these files automatically on the fly?

Yes, of course, I pushed it to `master`, thanks.
Still hoping for Someone™ to try and move that code to jka-compr :-)
