There's already 'ylwrap' which makes me suggest 'arwrap'.

But I was trying to say that I have been through codesearch and only found
one clash (in an ancient version of gimp), but maybe codesearch hasn't good
enough coverage? There were certainly many files named 'archive', but I
found none in any directory that appeared to be used for automake auxiliary
files.

'arlib' ties it to lib, which is unfortunate. That said, I'm perfectly fine
with 'arlib' too...
