Lars, as part of a small doc patch I want to change this in tarfile.rst:

   The :mod:`tarfile` module makes it possible to read and write tar
   archives, including those using gzip or bz2 compression.
  -(:file:`.zip` files can be read and written using the :mod:`zipfile` module.)
  +Use the :mod:`zipfile` module to read or write :file:`.zip` files, or the
  +higher-level functions in :ref:`shutil <archiving-operations>`.

Any objection?
