I'm glad to have many comments like this in support of this PEP.
Thanks, everyone!

Sure, but before I “finish” the implementation, I want to reach
consensus on the suitability of the proposed API. To quote PEP 1:

    It is better to finish the specification and rationale first and
    reach consensus on it before writing code.

My intention is to continue supporting this code after inclusion in
the standard library, yes.
