What is the URL format for a tar filesystem in PyFilesystem?

Question

Is there a URL format for the TarFilesystem in PyFilesystem? I see other examples here, but not for TarFilesystem.

And what about the `tarfile` module ? https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html — s3n0, Mar 13 '19 at 00:19
In this case everything is PyFilesystem, it's a thin wrapper over things like `tarfile` and provides a consistent interface across many forms of file access (tar, os, s3, memory fs, etc). — David Parks, Mar 13 '19 at 00:24

Found the answer through trial and error:

fs.open_fs('tar://~/tmp/testtar.tar.gz')

The resource part of the URL (~/tmp/testtar.tar.gz) can be an OS path including file expansion.
