a) is #14013; b) is #14011.

If Lars agrees to #14013, I will withdraw this patch in favor of another one 
that would make shutil automatically support all compressors that tarfile 
supports (my b) point).

Note that this is not going to be pain-free, as for example bzip2 compression 
is obtained with the strings “bz2”, “bzip2”, “bzip” or “bztar” depending on the 
modules; I think it’s worth it nonetheless, even if I have to add an ugly 
conversion in shutil for compat.

----------
dependencies: +tarfile should expose supported formats
