---------------------------------------------------------------

The description contains an interesting word: scope for artifact or file. Right now overwriteRelease, overwriteSnapshot, overwriteIfNewer are all booleans, but I think it makes sense to allow the scope here too. So valid values would be: 
- true 
- false
- artifact: (similar to true)
- file

This will keep the number of parameters small.

> There should be an option to prevent file overwrite when extracting files.
> This option is very helpful when unpack or unpack-dependencies happens after process-resouce phase. 
> Currently, there is overwriteRelease, overwriteSnapshot, overwriteIfNewer. But they all work on the artifact scope (that means decide if a whole artifact should overwrite), not files scope (if a file should overwrite an existing file).
