Description
SVGZ is a layer of gzip compression over .svg files, and help with storage of plain-text vector graphics files. I'm not sure what the mimetype is, but support for .svgz can be incredibly helpful for saving full-quality graphics at smaller sizes.
- Spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/single-page.html#conform-ConformingSVGServers
- PR using it: None yet, trying to figure out how to get Makie to support saving to svgz

Research direction
Start with the SVG conformance specification and inspect how FileIO handles file extensions and MIME types. Confirm the appropriate SVGZ MIME type and the scope of format support; done when .svgz is recognized without disrupting existing SVG handling and the relevant behavior is covered by tests.
