But that's not my main objection. We keep the bar high for inclusion in the standard library, and it shouldn't offend anyone.
Has treating the documentation like the library been considered? That is, instead of linking to Doug's examples, assuming Doug consented, incorporate them directly into the doc, and give Doug a commit bit so he can maintain them. That would also solve the versioning issues, at least to the level of "which version is the example for." Done right, the examples should be automatically testable. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.
