What's the use case here? For a quick look up you're not going to write that monster command. And for a more ongoing repeated use, you're not going to download and uncompress the file every time you want to query it...

I get the satisfaction as a curiosity, but other than that, to me that wouldn't be enough to make the my "favorite" or even "good".



I viewed it as an example of how simple it could be (essentially a one-liner), but not meant for actual repeated use as your points suggest.
