Eh..Why not have "view decompressed" as the default, and inside the
FileList content pane? I mean, does *anyone* need to look at the raw
compressed bytestream?

Using CrLfFileStream (for *viewing* only, not changing everywhere in the
system) would be good too. At least as a checkable option.

Being able to directly file-in/browse code/etc. cs.gz stuff would be nice
as well.

Etc. etc. I like this one.

Another fun task: Swapping in the enchanced ParseNodes and synching pretty
printing with them.

Oh, updating Prolog/V and TGen to (make sure they) work with 3.2.
