Yes, I think it would be good to put the common features in a single
function, or at least have some shared private function(s) to handle
the tasks that are common to these functions. But it is not clear to
me how much gzip/gunzip and zip/unzip will have in common since they
do different things. The zip/unzip functions are more like tar/untar
with compression (do Matlab's tar/untar functions also do compression?).
