I am reluctant to merge this without having any way to test the logic. Without automated tests this issue is likely to recur.

That said, I suppose we could leave the refactoring for a TODO. Let's add a note on that and also one minimal test to verify that we raise an error if you try to use engine='netcdf4' with a path to local gzipped file.
