It won't exactly be drop-in replacement.

I mean if users decide to replace Tarfile with SafeTarFile, existing code may 
break since there might be cases where dodgy tarballs are acceptable and/or 
used then SafeTarFile.open will throw an exception.

Having said that, I am refactoring the tests right now since the test file is 
~3000 lines and adding SafeTarFile tests for every TarFile test is cluttering 
it.
