It didn't land into the archives, yet, but I see what you mean.  :)

I can certainly add support for `.tar.zst' alone, but shouldn't it also
work for other extensions, as well? (it works for other compression
algorithms).  For instance:

  $ ls 
  bla.crazy     bla.gem.gz   bla.tar.bz2  bla.tgz
  bla.crazy.gz  bla.spkg.gz  bla.tar.gz
  $ tar f bla.[TAB]
  bla.gem.gz   bla.spkg.gz  bla.tar.bz2  bla.tar.gz   bla.tgz      
  $ tar f bla.[CURSOR]

I think it should also complete for `.gem.zst', `.spkg.zst', and even
for `.tar.zstd', `.gem.zstd', `.spkg.zstd', as people are probably
going to create archives with such extensions.

What do you say?
