You'll have to explain a little further why you think it doesn't work
with .bz2 files.  Completion of names from inside the archive is keyed
off the extraction arguments in the tar command, not off the file name,
so `tar Ixf foo.tar.bz2 <TAB>' will complete files from the .bz2, and
`tar zxf foo.tar.gz <TAB>' will complete files from the .gz.

You have to use the 1-letter short forms of the tar options; the _tar
function does not yet handle the long-word forms.
