No, you can extract +FOO in a temp directory, then use +CONTENTS to generate a file list that you pass to tar(1) using the -I option to extract the actual contents of the package in-place. If the package was generated "smartly" (i.e. with +FOO listed before any other files on the command line so they're at the beginning of the archive) and you use --fast-read, it'll be significantly faster as well as use less space. If the package was not generated "smartly", it'll still be somewhat faster than the current logic.
