tar-mode on auto-mode-alist

I just noticed that tar-mode is a little overrepresented on auto-mode-alist, containing the following: ("\\.tar$" . tar-mode) ("\\.tar$" . tar-mode) ("\\.tar\\'" . tar-mode) ("\\.tgz\\'" . tar-mode) These definitions come from: lisp/files.el (defvar auto-mode-alist '(... ("\\.tar\\'" . tar-mode) xemacs-packages: lisp/os-utils/auto-autoloads.el:(setq auto-mode-alist (cons (cons tar-regexp 'tar-mode) auto-mode-alist)) lisp/os-utils/jka-compr.el: (list (cons "\\.tgz\\'" 'tar-mode)) lisp/os-utils/tar-mode.el(setq auto-mode-alist (cons (cons tar-regexp 'tar-mode) auto-mode-alist)) Perhaps this should be replaced with one pattern that matches .tar, .taz, and .tgz? ("\\.t\\(ar\\|gz\\|az\\)\\'" . tar-mode) -jeff
