The Journal - a proposed syslog replacement

I was more pointing out that tools exist that do the gunzip -c internally. I almost never use gunzip except via the z* tools and tar xf. I always appreciate shotcuts for things like that (at least those commonly available on random machines, e.g. my vim bindings don't modify core behavior that is easy to get a bad habit with when sshing around, like nnoremap jj <Esc>).
