Description
In #108 we're going to add support for compressed files and then we also need to support archive files, such as .tar, .zip, .rar.
- Change
rows.utils.compressandrows.utils.decompressfunctions to also support archives - Change
rows.clito parse filenames, identify archives and then callcompress/decompress(could use something like this:filename.zip::path/to/file.csv). - Bonus: recursively support archived files, example:
filename.zip::path/to/file.rar::other/path/file.csv.

Research direction
Start with rows.utils.compress and rows.utils.decompress, then inspect rows.cli and the planned compressed-file support from #108. The work is complete when .tar, .zip, and .rar archives can be identified and read through the filename.zip::path/to/file.csv syntax, including the proposed recursive form if it is included.
