Description
It'd be swell if there was a way for users to use existing types or other `resource` functions to dispatch on regexs that don't have a `resource` function associated with them.
One example is here: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/blaze/issues/1011
I proposed this syntax:
``` python
resource('*.log.gz', cls=chunks(CSV))
```
but that won't really work for things whose construction is more complicated, hence the "... other `resource` functions ..." statement above. Maybe something like this:
``` python
resource('*.log.gz', construct_as=chunks(CSV))
resource('*.log.gz', construct_as='*.csv.gz')
resource('*.log.gz', construct_as='*.json.gz')
```
?
