[Feature Request] Using Tramp to transparently edit files in zip/tarball/cpio/hddimage etc.

[Tim O'Callaghan]

Hi,

I want to be able to keep a set of files in an encrypted archive file
(such as a password protected zip) and work on them in emacs as if
they were a remote filesystem. I thought of tramp as being the natural
mechanism for this.
If i take the concept further, being able to work with other password
protected archive formats in the same way would also be great.

best regards,

Tim.
