The problem is the hackish solution could break legitimate cases. If
we use a special filename, that would break if the user (legitimately)
puts a file in their archive with the same name...imo that's
potentially dangerous, though admittedly not all our uses of attrs are
critical in terms of being needed to make things work properly.
