Like I said, the sky will fall. Isn't importing from zips what's being
discussed in this part of the thread?

Unless something is expressly verboten, I can't see a reason why particular
implementations of a PEP can't provide additional functionality, as long as
they implement the contents of the standard. And in Python's
consenting-adults world, I can't recall seeing any such express proscriptions.
