Huh.  tar *can* infer it from the data itself.  On the other hand, it chooses explicitly not to.

% cat ~/Downloads/Python-3.3.0.tar.bz2| tar xvf -
tar: Archive is compressed. Use -j option
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

% cat ~/Downloads/Python-3.3.0.tgz| tar xvf -
tar: Archive is compressed. Use -z option
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I guess "tar" knows explicit is better than implicit too ;-)
