True. Gzip files always begin with 0x1f and 0x8b, but this pre-condition is 
not satisfied by all senders, so there must be a way to inform them about the 
error.

It did seem weird that
CodeLoader>>installSourceFile: aStream
        ..
        contents _ aStream ascii upToEnd unzipped.
treats first argument as a *.st and then falls back to *.gz. Gzip files are 
easier to detect than *.st, so shouldn't the order be the other way around?

BTW, is an empty file a valid *.st file (as a trivial case, of course)? filein 
and change browser handle it gracefully.
