There are two backward incompatbile changes, both minor. First of all ZipInfo will lose the fileoffset attribute because calculating it when opening a zipfile is very expensive (it basically requires a full scan of the zipfile). This should be harmless, I couldn't come up with a usecase other then reimplementing the read method outside of zipfile.

Not knowing anything about this, why not implement file_offset as a property?
