[New-bugs-announce] [issue4424] Add support for a cmp, or key argument to heapq functions.

[Alex]

New submission from Alex <alex.gaynor at gmail.com>:

Currently the heapq module can only really be used if your data has it's
own ordering defined.  There is no way to do a custom ordering.  From my
cursory review of the code it looks like some of the lower level
functions actually take these kwargs, but the public interface does not.
