By the way, do people use unar? It's a great solution I stumbled upon for when you want to be like "I don't know or care how this was compressed, just extract it for me"

I use bsdtar for a similar purpose. It’s part of the fantastic libarchive[1] project and supports every format I’ve thrown at it so far.

It supports a lot fewer formats than unar does.
