  At least here 'less' (/usr/bin/less) will show the contents of packages
(such as rpms, tarballs (packed or not), etc.) as a listing of the files
inside. 'less' is very smart in that regard.

  (I know not all implementations of 'less' are that smart, and most of
them will simply show the raw contents of any file, but at least mine is.
It comes at least with OpenSUSE, probably also other distros.)
