   Vim - gzip'ed text file - noeol ?

   It never occurred to me that Vim displays *.gz (gzip'ed) text files   
   in unzipped form; noticed it just by accident. - That's nice!   
      
   What I was wondering about, though, was that it displays the text   
   file with the marker "[noeol]" despite the text file's last line is   
   terminated correctly by a '\n'. - A bug? (Observed with Vim 7.3)   
      
   Of course the binary *.gz file has "noeol" but since it's displayed   
   in expanded form that tag is quite misleading and doesn't contribute   
   any useful information here (IMO).   
      
   Janis, curious
