That's a separate issue.  And I don't see how is it a security issue
for Emacs, when unpacking an archive manually with 'tar' etc. would
produce the same results.  If the user wants to overwrite his/her
sensitive files, we should let them do it, in the same way as other
utilities do.  But that's MO, and it is a separate concern anyway.

I'm okay with having a separate command for unpacking, yes.  We'd need
to provide a backward-compatibility option if we do that, since 'Z'
unpacks for some time now.

Thanks.
