More on this: The zipfs implementation appears to track which Paths are
directories by putting trailing slashes on them. That's at variance with
what the real filesystem implementations do, and I think it's a rather
unexpected behavior (though I don't see that the docs come down one way 
or the other). Should this be changed?
