Antoine Pietri added the comment:

Well, this behavior seems pretty inconsistent to me, it means that every 
library has to check if the name attribute  is actually a string (which would 
correspond to a path) or an int (that would mean a fd), and I think a "fd" 
attribute would seem more consistent.
But as I don't think we could change this behavior that easily (it means 
breaking retrocompatibility after all...), we must at least make tarlib deal 
with that.
