* The Windows-specific binary notice was probably a Python 2 thing
* Make it more obvious gettarinfo() is based on stat(), and that non-ordinary
files may need special care
* The file name must be text; suggest dummy arcname as a workaround
* Indicate TarInfo may be used directly, not just via gettarinfo()
- clarified the distinction between text encodings and other codecs
- clarified relationship with builtin open and the io module
- consolidated documentation of error handlers into one section
- clarified type constraints of some behaviours
- added tests for some of the new statements in the docs
- Remove duplicated list of links to the other modules from each
module’s doc (people can already go up to library/archiving and
there they can see the list).
- Link to shutil high-level operations.

so it made no sense to add filter as a positional argument.

extensions. Thus, in addition to GNUTYPE_SPARSE headers, sparse
information in pax headers created by GNU tar can now be decoded.
All three formats 0.0, 0.1 and 1.0 are supported.
On filesystems that support this, holes in files are now restored
whenever a sparse member is extracted.
tarfile is now able to read and write pax headers with a
"hdrcharset=BINARY" record. This record was introduced in
POSIX.1-2008 as a method to store unencoded binary strings that
cannot be translated to UTF-8. In practice, this is just a workaround
that allows a tar implementation to store filenames that do not
comply with the current filesystem encoding and thus cannot be
decoded correctly.
Additionally, tarfile works around a bug in current versions of GNU
tar: undecodable filenames are stored as-is in a pax header without a
"hdrcharset" record being added. Technically, these headers are
invalid, but tarfile manages to read them correctly anyway.

Issue #6856: Add a filter keyword argument to TarFile.add().
The filter argument must be a function that takes a TarInfo
object argument, changes it and returns it again. If the
function returns None the TarInfo object will be excluded
from the archive.
The exclude argument is deprecated from now on, because it
does something similar but is not as flexible.
