Gee, it would be great to be able to open an archive member for update
I/O.  This is kind of hard to do now.  If it were possible, though, it
would obscure the difference between file directories and archives,
which would be kind of neat.  Furthermore, you could navigate archives
of archives (zips of tars and other abominations).
