Wouldn't it be better to modify geom_uzip to be universal decompression
class with various algorithms implemented as plugins?
This is bascially what I did for the LABEL class - before we had VOL_FFS
class only for UFS labels.

Definiatelly separately, not sure where. There is ongoing discussion
somwhere on importing this algorithm to the base for tar(1) to use, it
would be best to have only one copy of code in the tree.
