Lucky charms can do this with a single bowl.

ELI5: What does this sentence mean?

Imo not really noob-user friendly.

In what way? It would make it entirely invisible that the archive file isn't just a normal folder, it would be possible to use it just as if it were. What would be unfriendly about that?

The operating system could mount it as a virtual drive, then all its contents could be used directly just like any regular folder.

It's now been 18 years since the last time an employer paid me to write assembly, but it's only been a year or so since the last time I had to read assembly at work (in order to verify what the compiler really was doing).

I still don't get what would be so difficult about typing one such character if ever needed.

Sure, but when was the last time you saw, say, a Python project using some third-party library instead of simply calling isnumeric() from the standard library?

There's a reason for these jokes always being about Javascript.

Most people never type a full file name on the command line, they normally just use file name completion.

And if they happen to have a lot of files that are only distinguished by some single character, what would be so difficult about typing that one character then?

Because you would need to know the code for å in all kb layouts, on all OS's,

WTF!? Why would you ever need to know that!?
