Description
This might be considered out-of-scope for eza, which is totally fine ... but I believe it would be a nice feature to be able to list the contents of tarballs, zip files and similar archive files.
An example of how this could work:
$ eza ${MY_OPTS} -l openvpn3-session-watcher-3.tar.xz
.rw-r-----@ 3,6k user 3 Nov 09:39 -N openvpn3-session-watcher-3.tar.xz
$ eza ${MY_OPTS} -l session-watcher.tar.xz/
.rw-r-----@ 192 user 30 Oct 11:18 -I Makefile
.rwxr-xr-x@ 12k user 3 Nov 09:35 -N openvpn3-desktop-session-watcher
.rw-r-----@ 198 user 30 Oct 11:13 -N openvpn3-desktop-session-watcher.service
