Three headlines:
- **`l` in a fraction of a second on huge archives** (`-filelist`): the history of the archive is kept inside it, and `l` reads just that.
- **`l` is faster anyway**, even without `-filelist`: about 3 times on big listings.
- **`-tar`: zpaqfranz as a tar** on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris: owners, permissions, symlinks, hard links, FIFOs, devices, nanosecond times. Tested field by field against the original tree, and it keeps more than the `tar` of those systems.
