Not AFAIK. At least fencepost.gnu.org doesn't have 7z, but does have
p7zip, which is a shell script. That shell script invokes another
shell script, called 7zr, which in turn invokes a program
/usr/lib/p7zip/7zr.

That's what fencepost has.

Why not?
Is 7zr suitable? If so, we should use it in preference to 7z.

That's not what Jason said.
