and why would you want that, instead of just:
cd foo.deb # for the ar
dpkg -i foo.deb # for the deb

Just want to extract the tar file? Maybe something like
cat foo.tgz/gunzip
In which case (of course) foo.tgz/gunzip has exactly the same directory
contents as foo.tgz

Looks different, that's all.

In fact, for just about any syntax anyone could suggest, I can't really
see why you can't just replace all weird symbols with a slash and a
symbol. Instead of
foo.tgz#utar
you have
foo.tgz/#/utar
Only difference is, some things which used to require special tools can
now be serviced by less than what's in busybox.
