require on compressed files

Hi all, I am trying to get the expected behavior of: require("filename.gz"); or require("filename.bz2"); to work properly. Beyond using gzopen, gzread, and gzwrite to do it using a temp file, is there any other way to include a compressed file with PHP code? I thought of using gzread and passing that to eval but it isn't pure PHP and uses <? and ?> respectively.
