After this change zcat(1) behaves unlike GNU zcat, bzcat and xzcat.
$ zcat TIFFfree.3tiff.gz
zcat: TIFFfree.3tiff.gz is not a regular file

At least our man(1) relies on foocat, e.g.
$ man -d TIFFfree # from graphics/tiff
-- Using architecture: amd64:amd64
-- Using pager: less
-- Using manual sections: 1:1aout:8:2:3:n:4:5:6:7:9:l
-- Searching PATH for man directories
-- Adding /home/luser/.bin/man to manpath
-- Adding /usr/local/man to manpath
-- Adding /usr/share/man to manpath
-- Adding default manpath entries
-- Adding /usr/share/openssl/man to manpath
-- Parsing config file: /etc/man.conf

zcat: /usr/local/man/man3/TIFFfree.3tiff.gz is not a regular file
-- Command: /usr/bin/zcat /usr/local/man/man3/TIFFfree.3tiff.gz | tbl | groff

and uses `-f' flag only when compression is not known/not compressed
