does a zgrep exist? (zgrep <> zcat | grep)

I guess this is marginally under comp.unix.shell...
It would be nice to grep through compressed files. Sure, you can do zcat |
grep regexp, but then you loose the ability of grep to tell you the
filename and/or linenumber of a match. Uncompressing the files before
greping isn't really wanted, cause you may not have the space on disk.
Does such a thing exist?
Thanks
James
