If you mean GNU --long-options, then never in a million years :)

If sbase gains programs to do compression, and the code is nicely librarized,
I will consider thinking about considering adding letting tar do that.
Why not call out to the compression program? Pipes are not patented by shells.
This decouples things
Why don't we just use popen?

I’d not use those anyway. I normally compress with:
find foo -type f | sort | cpio -oC512 -Hustar | gzip -n9 foo.tgz
Failing that, this one’s almost the same:
tar -b 1 -cf

Apparently is there anybody who uses dashes in tar's keys?

You mean the whole lot of GNU tar long options including filename rewriting
and masks? I don't see any way such implementation could fit suckless
principles.

My habit relays on compression scheme detection:
tar cf foo.txz ~/stuff
tar xf bar.tbz
-Truls
I would suggest a subset of POSIX tar options. It could be possibly
amended with z, Z, j and J options, though using
A $ tar c dirname | gzip -9c filename.tar.gz
or
A $ tar cf - dirname | gzip -9c filename.tar.gz
I usually use:
gunzip file.tar.gz | tar xf

If you mean GNU --long-options, then never in a million years :) If
you mean both dashed and non, that is likely what I will do.
