    IIUC currently the argument passed is "vi.po" but that is not the argument
    passed to operation either.

Perhaps we should fix that.

    As a matter of fact I think passing
    "/home/handa/x.tgz!vi.po" is more correct: if we assume that
    a suitable file-name-handler is installed it's perfectly correct.

But I don't think we should install such a handler, because it would
be an incompatible change in file name syntax.  And if we don't
install such a handler, the argument isn't correct at all.
