Make LOVE load resources from a zip file?

You know how GarrysMod works with the new Steam Workshop stuff? How it's all compiled into a big file, compressed and can be used in that way without the need to extract it?

Would LOVE be able to do this with a .zip or .rar format?

This would be cool.
Load Mari0 mods with a .zip or .rar file without adding them into .love file.
It's kind of like the Magic Launcher for Minecraft, or Emulators. :)

afaik, the people who made LÖVE said it can't read .zips

Yeah, but we can implement it manually. (Very hard, unless we just adapt an existing lib to love2d(Used by love2d, unzip and python))

So it doesn't natively support .zip files... Damn.
