+dit(bf(--skip-compress=LIST)) Override the list of file suffixes that will
+not be compressed. The bf(LIST) should be one or more file suffixes
+(without the dot) separated by slashes (/).
+
+You may specify an empty string to indicate that no file should be skipped.
+
+Simple character-class matching is supported: each must consist of a list
+of letters inside the square brackets (e.g. no special classes, such as
+"[:alpha:]", are supported).
+
+The characters asterisk (*) and question-mark (?) have no special meaning.
+
+Here's an example that specifies 6 suffixes to skip (since 1 of the 5 rules
+matches 2 suffixes):
+
+verb( --skip-compress=gz/jpg/mp[34]/7z/bz2)
+
+The default list of suffixes that will not be compressed is this (several
+of these are newly added for 3.0.0):
+
+verb( gz/zip/z/rpm/deb/iso/bz2/t[gb]z/7z/mp[34]/mov/avi/ogg/jpg/jpeg)
+
+This list will be replaced by your bf(--skip-compress) list in all but one
+situation: a copy from a daemon rsync will add your skipped suffixes to
+its list of non-compressing files (and its list may be configured to a
+different default).
