feature request: add FUSE mount option

some command line backup programs allow the user to mount the backup repository via FUSE (at least for linux); see e.g. the respective commands in restic or borg. This then enables to browse it like an ordinary file system with OS integrated standard tools.

Would something similar be possible for zpaqfranz? I.e. provide read access to the user via FUSE mounting the archive?

This would greatly enhance the possibility to quickly search for file names contained in the archive or even do a full text search in archived text files while simultaneously avoiding the need to explicitly extract them temporarily one by one...

This require a lot of work
And the brand new (next build) filelist fast

Short version: in the future, yes, I'll try
But a technical issue must be handled (aka read archive with i blocks)
Very hard (with backward compatibility), but doable

Thanks for your suggestion
