These are nifty things. PCSX2 supports some, as well as other emulators presumably. I wanted to add this some time ago, but was told not to.

"Nifty things" You mean the "beautiful" loads that are different from a clean image of the game? You mean, even though we have the perfect example as to avoid this, you want to add something for the general community even though that it's not the focus of the TASing community?

If this somehow screws with loads compared to a clean image then damn on this implementation.

No, this is not about GCN images with parts missing or any similar capability. This is about bin files compressed with something like gz, with the emulator building an index file automatically and decompressing on the fly.
