Treat ZIP-Files exactly like Folders

#1

I would like to see ZIP-Files be handled like folders today, creating an archive format.

One could open a zip file exactly like a folder. Editing files would update the ZIP.

Also, if a sublime-project file would be found in root of the ZIP, that file would be made the active project.

UseCase/Application:

Single File projects that could be easily shared and filed. Mostly of interest for MarkDown documentations and similar projects.

There is a ZIP plugin that already gives access to ZIP files, but I envision a bit more.

Maybe this can be done with a plugin?

+1 for the feature

Sometimes you just need to quickly edit a zip bundle and this would be super useful. Emacs supports something like this natively https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/File-Archives.html
