When '-a' option is in effect, zstd compression is selected if the
destination archive name ends in '.zst' or '.tzst'.
* The -K option interacts properly with member names given in the command line
Names of members to extract can be specified along with the "-K NAME"
option. In this case, tar will extract NAME and those of named members
that appear in the archive after it, which is consistent with the
semantics of the option.
Previous versions of tar extracted NAME, those of named members that
appeared before it, and everything after it.
