Description

Hello, I believe the CLI provided by this package is natively supported thanks to [PEP 784](https://peps.python.org/pep-0784/).

Starting from Python 3.14, you can do:
```sh
python -m tarfile --extract filename.tar.zst
python -m tarfile --extract filename.tar.zst targetdir
```

For older versions of Python, you can use [the backport](https://github.com/rogdham/backports.zstd):
```sh
python -m pip install backports.zstd
python -m backports.zstd.tarfile --extract filename.tar.zst
python -m backports.zstd.tarfile --extract filename.tar.zst targetdir
```

You probably already know about the integration of Zstandard in the standard library, but I wanted to mention it just in case 🙂
