Excellent point!

We ought to collect some requirements/goals for the ZIP import stuff.
The current draft of the PEP is a little thin on motivation.

Requirement: A ZIP archive be usable any version of Python that
supports ZIP-based imports.

It might also be nice to have a imputil- or ihook-based importer that
works with older versions of Python.
