    Research direction

    Start at the zipfile extractall entry point and review the context of PR 5472, which is named in the issue metadata. Confirm how ZipInfo instances are currently re-wrapped; done means extractall no longer performs that unnecessary re-wrapping while preserving its existing behavior.
