Also maybe some message should be printed if no .gz or .7z handler is
found. Same for the rest: .jpg etc.

Currently emacs just opens the file in fundamental mode.

Emacs should print a message that it looked for a handler but didn't
find one.

That way the user would know emacs already can deal with such files,
and all he needs to do is install a handler.

Else he thinks emacs is just acting like it is 1980 an has never heard
of such files.
