As per mail [1], it seems the proposal is not to use .tar for -Z 0.
Now here actually we are on the fence, one can argue that if user
doesn't want compression, he or she can use -F p (plain format).
OTOH, without compression getting the backup as a single .tar file
makes it simple to manage. I think there is some value in providing
.tar for -Z 0, however in that case how should we define usage of -F p
-Z 0? Shall we say with plain format -Z 0 gets ignored or throw error
or do something else? If first, then I think it is better to mention
the same in docs.
