If it were possible to edit files inside archives, that would be great.
But that's a pretty major undertaking, I think.

I think it would be nice to go directly to the single file in these
archives, but, on the other hand, it might be kinda surprising.  If
you're visiting an archive, you expect to see the list of files in the
archive.  For one type of archives (ones with a single file in them) to
work differently may be too inconsistent.

So I dunno...  others who want to chime in?
