Vim and Zipfiles

I accidentally opened a zip archive with vim just now. I was trying to open a Java properties file with a similar name and got a little overzealous with my autocomplete acceptance.


I braced myself for a screen full of binary crap but I saw the zip contents instead. Wow! Vim automatically opens the zip file and allows you to select a file inside it for editing just like a directory. Cool stuff.
