What's Next?
------------
* Add tests for different types of tar options/extensions
* Package for convenience handling around collecting the RawBytes()
* Marshalling and storing index, ordering, file size and perhaps relative path of extracted files
- perhaps have an API to allow user to provided a `hash.Hash` to checksum and store for the file payloads
- though not enabled by default
- this way, users wanting to implement an on disk tree validation could do so
- but otherwise, we rely on the resulting re-assembled tar be validated
* Using stored index information, make an API for providing `io.Reader` and perhaps `tar.Reader` from re-assembled tar
* More implementations of storage Packer and Unpacker
* More implementations of FileGetter and FilePutter
* cli tooling to assemble/disassemble a provided tar archive
