[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]
I think it was a mistake to make Z operate on directories,
and a mistake to think of to creating an archive as "compression".
It would be better to use A as a command to pack and unpack
archives.
