Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached test2824.py and low_level_zipfile.diff, then inspect the current zipfile implementation and its tests. Determine the intended behavior for archives containing duplicate filenames, since the issue does not define the desired handling. Done means the behavior is agreed, covered by regression tests, and implemented consistently.
