I've been using archiver for a while for a tool that downloads releases from github (and other places) and automatically unpacks them to make their commands available for running. Archiver has worked out very well so far.
Today, I wanted to add restic to my tool, and it's downloads are only bzip2 compressed, as opposed to being tar'd first. This is not supported by archiver.
It looks like it would be possible to add support for archives of one file that are only compressed (gz or bzip2). I am wondering, would this support be in line with the goals of the project and likely be accepted? I want to know before investing more effort.
Thanks for making such a useful library.
