<!--
This template is specifically for adding support for a new archive or compression format to the library. Please, precisely one format per issue.
To fill this out, replace these comments with your answers or add your answers after the comments.
-->

## Introduce the format you are requesting.
<!-- What is it called, what is it used for, etc? Some background information. -->



## What do YOU use this format for?
<!-- We want to know YOUR specific use cases; why do YOU need this format? -->



## What is the format's conventional file extension(s)?
<!-- Don't overthink this one, it's a simple question. -->



## What is the format's typical header bytes?
<!-- Usually a file format starts with predictable bytes to determine what it is. -->



## What is the format's MIME type?
<!-- Also known as media type or, in HTTP terms, Content-Type. -->



## Please link to the format's formal or official specification(s).
<!-- If there isn't a formal spec, link to the most official documentation for the format. Note that unstandardized formats are less likely to be added unless it is in high-enough demand. -->



## Which Go libraries could be used to implement this format?
<!-- This project itself does not actually implement low-level format reading and writing algorithms, so link to pure-Go libraries that do. Dependencies that use cgo or invoke external commands are not eligible for this project. -->
