Description

Could you please add support for loading gzip-compressed source maps? It'd be useful e.g. for projects packaged using pkg.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how source maps are currently loaded in the library and add gzip decompression logic (e.g., using zlib) before parsing the source map content. Look for existing HTTP request handling or file reading functions to modify.
