        Frankly, – no idea; I don’t seem to recall seeing one so far.

        In order not to place such checks all over the code, we may
        want either a separate tar-header-service-p function for the
        tar-untar-buffer callers to use to decide whether the file will
        be extracted or not, /or/ an optional filter function argument
        to tar-untar-buffer for the /caller/ to specify which files to
        filter out.

        It doesn’t seem to provide anything beyond the name of the type.
