@timotheecour and I came up with a solution to a common

How to represent multiple files in a forum post?
Oh, I thought it already was a standard, but
[.har](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.har) is JSON based and
very different, so the name is already taken.
Have you done some proper research for existing standards?
There is a 50 year old technique to use ASCII file separators
(https://stackoverflow.com/a/18782271/2371032). Sure we can
find some existing ones.
We recently wondered how gcc/llvm test codegen, at least in gcc
or gdb I've seen a custom test case format.
Those seem to be binary control characters, they also don't allow
you to specify the filename...how does that solve the problem of
being able to represent multiple files in a forum post?
If there is an existing standard that's great, I wasn't able to
find one. If you find one let me know.
