is rumored to have said:

But bbedit does in fact open it just fine. I think it must be doing some magic behind the scenes, maybe based on plutil or equivalent. The user manual says:

BBEdit transparently opens and displays the contents of any bz2 or
gzip-compressed files (“.bz2”, “.gz” and “.gzip” files), as well as tarballs (“.tar” files) and binary plists (“.plist” files), both
directly and during multi-file search.

!

That must be new-ish.
