I still find it weird / annoying that those commands don't get installed with prefixes by default. At least for awk it's common to have gawk, mawk, etc. installed explicitly. I wish it was common to similarly have bsdtar, gtar, etc.

At least in nixpkgs it's easy to reference the right version explicitly for each context, but everything else is a just guessing.

If you use the AUR, you are going to see bsdtar a lot.
