New submission from Daniel Chimeno <dan...@chimeno.me>:
While working on project with Python wheels I found myself adding:
````
import shutil
shutil.register_unpack_format('whl', ['.whl'], shutil._unpack_zipfile)
````
Since PEP 427 explicitly says wheels are ZIP-format archive.
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427/
I wonder if it's loable to register the unpack format by default so the
shutil.unpack_archive() function works without adding it.
