While finding xz-compressed files is handled transparently in Emacs, the
same cannot be said about their support (or rather, lack thereof) in
Dired.  Two examples:

- dired-do-compress on file.xz produces file.xz.gz instead of file

- dired-do-shell-command does not offer anything for file.tar.xz (with
  GNU tar 1.22, just "tar xf" unpacks it, older versions may need the
  option --use-compress-program=xz).
