It certainly could be done. But in regard to the philosophy of making tools, I wrote one tool to process a log file to find loops, etc., and left it to the user to determine how he wanted to obtain the log file to be processed. In a similar way, "wc -l" counts the lines in a file, and one could incorporate into it extracting an element of a tar file whose lines should be counted. But it would be an odd marriage of functionality, for sure.
