Is there a reason tarfile and zipfile don't use the same method/member

The situation is known to some core developers, but is hard to change now.
One likely explanation is that the modules's APIs were designed by
different people unaware of the work of the other.
Plus tartfiles come from unix world, whereas zip was used instead in
Windows world.
Is the tart bit the thing that you can eat, a loose woman or something
else, such as a typo? :)
