Add a way to read from a ZIP archive
Consider a file like this one:
https://en.www.inegi.org.mx/contenidos/programas/ccpv/2010/microdatos/iter/ageb_manzana/01_aguascalientes_2010_ageb_manzana_urbana_xls.zip
It's a ZIP with a single member, which is an Excel file. read_xls
only seems to accept a path to a file on disk, not the document as a string, nor an unz
connection object, nor a shell command that prints the document to standard output. It would be nice to not have to extract the archive member to disk just to read it.
