So what about GNU tar where restoring an untrusted tarball, _or_ restoring
a tarball as root when an user who owns any files contained within the
tarballs is logged on, is not supported either?

Or, btrfs-receive with the same problem (but at least you _can_ do it
securely as an user, with an unobvious and still poorly documented way).

Or, binutils that can't be used to analyze untrusted input either?

Sometimes input validation would massively extend the amount of tuits
needed, beyond the author's resources.
