Floppy disks are obsolete.

ZIP files are not, and splitting them into smaller files can still be useful.

Let's replace "multi-disk" (added in Python 2.0 in 2000) with "multipart".

There's also some examples of "not currently" and "currently cannot". Let's remove "currently" -- if the feature hasn't been added in 20 years, it's unlikely to soon. And this is versioned docs representing the current state, we'll update it if the feature is added.

Finally, consistently use sentence case for headers:
