Well, heck. Maybe I'll see what I can do with it. Do you want it to
conform to any interface in particular?
What I'd like to see is the creation of a library file interface, say:
std.archive
and then have implementations of it:
std.archive.zip
std.archive.tar
std.archive.lha
std.archive.7zip
etc. Pass a file name to a factory method of std.archive, and it figures
out what kind of archive it is, instantiates the appropriate
implementation, etc.
