I asked you to provide a detailed description.  If the spelling for
the `gzip:' token is different or the arguments are different that the
monikers it will not help to have them unified.

now, to achieve unification, I requested you to post a detailed and
precise description of how those work on the vfs land.  Once that is
done, we can make sure our ::parseDisplayName methods in the monikers
work the same way.

blah blah blah. 

Are you interested in fixing the issue or you are just interested in
bitching?  If you are interested in solving the problem, post a
detailed description.  Otherwise, help us reduce the noise in the
channel.
