 the transformation would be taking the `Files()` from the original artifact,
 compressing them, and creating a new artifact with a single file: the
 compressed archive.

+The result signature of this method is `(Artifact, bool, error)`. Each
+return value is explained below:
+
+* `Artifact` - The newly created artifact if no errors occurred.
+* `bool` - If true, the input artifact will forcefully be kept. By default,
+  Packer typically deletes all input artifacts, since the user doesn't generally
+  want intermediary artifacts. However, some post-processors depend on the
+  previous artifact existing. If this is `true`, it forces packer to keep the
+  artifact around.
+* `error` - Non-nil if there was an error in any way. If this is the case,
+  the other two return values are ignored.
