I hear you Michiel, and I had already come across this post of ours in
Stackoverflow!
It seems we should make some effort to make those features a standard. I
usually use Dist::Zilla for newer projects, but I'm not so sure if it would be
a good case for Archive::Tar::Wrapper, given the necessary retroactive
compatibility with older perls that are still hanging around.

I've asked the same four years ago!

Seems like not much improved since then. You could either use your
hack or just not bother :D
