unar is short for "The Unarchiver". The command-line interface isn't compatible
which means it's not just another command to try out in evince's CBR support
for example.

Given that the goal for evince's CBZ/CBR/CBT/CB7 support is to use libarchive instead:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720742
we're waiting on fuller RAR support there:
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/373

file-roller has specific support for "The Unarchiver" in src/fr-command-unarchiver.c
