Feature request - Ability to work with compressed files

[rubenvarela]

Issue:
On a development environment, I have multiple projects and the logs grow like crazy. In production, when I rotate logs, I have compression enabled. For development, in order to use this, I have to turn the compression off. For me this can quickly eats through disk space.

I have seen on the discussion a few posts asking for this as well,

I thought of formally asking for this here as a Feature Request.

I'm not an expert on the project, so I don't believe an MR would be the best thing without discussing this with all of you first. I guess initially discussing possible approaches is a good idea. I also don't know if someone might know of other projects tackling something similar which might have already gone through this.
