When reading uncompressed tar archives stored in regular files,

As a side note, the similar feature in GNU tar is enabled using
--seek option.
Oh, good. It seemed so obvious at the time; if
noone else had ever done it, I'd be worried that
I missed some fatal problem. ;-)
Is there a reason GNU tar doesn't enable this by
default for all regular files?
