While working on project with Python wheels I found myself adding:

````
import shutil
shutil.register_unpack_format('whl', ['.whl'], shutil._unpack_zipfile)

````

Since PEP 427 explicitly says wheels are ZIP-format archive. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427/

I wonder if it's loable to register the unpack format by default so the 
shutil.unpack_archive() function works without adding it.
