 Which means that I need to rename a docx archive to have a ".zip" suffix if I want to open it with collection().    Which is not especially challenging but which lacks elegance.

 I propose to add a configuration property ZIP_URI_PATTERN as a regular expression that can be used to decide whether a collection URI is to be treated as a zip file.
