Not really.  stem.ext -> stem.ext.zzz where zzz is a compression
extension is a pretty common naming convention.  For me ext == 'tar'
is by far the most common case (74%), 'tis true, but 'patch' (10%),
'txt' (6%), 'tab', 'gml', 'xml', 'svg', 'pdf', 'ps', ' dvi', 'diff',
'pdb', 'cpp', 'el', and 'data' also exist somewhere under $HOME.  I'll
bet others show up if I search /usr, /var, and /opt.
