We have to files related to zip files: zipfile and zipimport. Should
we bother to consolidate? The problem is the obvious names conflict
with built-in type  and a keyword, respectively. A possibility is:

zipfile -> zip.filer
zipimport -> zip.importer

But I don't know if that is really an improvement. What do other people think?
