I'm not sure about this. For those who use this format very often it would be handy, sure. On the other hand, such an entry should be placed next to the TAR.GZ one, but I think that a novice user could be easily confused. "Why are there two TAR entries?", "Which one should I choose?", etc.
Raphael, what do you think?

But in this case the action `Compress -> As TAR.GZ Archive` would become a duplicate both in the name (well, kind of) and in the effect. In other words, the users will be confused about which of the two actions to choose.
