I'd like to know whether there would be demand for such a package, and what the community would want in terms of the API and features. I haven't yet written any code for the package as the API is going to be one of the most important parts, and I thought it would be best to have agreement on what is wanted before starting on it.
That'd be great. A few thoughts: (a) should use ranges through and through; (b) might be interesting to allow libarchive http://www.libarchive.org as engine. That's BSD licensed, but we can interface with it. Or at least use it as reference for low-level design. -- Andrei
