archive methods?

Hi Denis,

Now that libdar uses the "archive" class, what is the possibility of having 
the various libdar operations implemented as methods of the archive class?

Instead of

libdar::archive *theArchive;

libdar::open( theArchive, ...)
libdar::test( theArchive, ...)
etc.

what about having

libdar::archive *theArchive( path, basename, etc.)

theArchive->open();
theArchive->test();

Have you considered this? I'm not sure what this would accomplish, besides 
quite a bit of possibly unnecessary code rewriting. It just ocurred to me 
that an archive is the main object for libdar, and the usual way in c++ is 
to implement functions as methods.

Please enlighten me if I am off base here. I'm not sure that I've thought 
this through very much. Sorry in advance if this has been documented 
elsewhere.

Cheers,
JB
