No problem! I thought it best to not "spoonfeed" you the answers!

Indeed.

By the way, you say "yet" -- one idea behind strip-nondeterminism is that
it will, one day, go away. That means we actually avoid adding features
wherever possible, so we probably *won't* add support for tar archives. :)


Best wishes,
