Research direction

Start by reviewing gzip_extra.diff and zipfile_extra.diff, then inspect README.dz and README.zip to determine the intended behavior for the gzip and zip changes. Done means the requested extra-field support is clearly agreed, implemented in the relevant standard-library modules, and validated; the payload names no tests or entry points.
