[New-bugs-announce] [issue9380] Allow popping of n elements at once from a deque

[ipatrol]

New submission from ipatrol <ipatrol6010 at yahoo.com>:

Yes, I know, this was proposed with builtin lists years before. But I can't help but think that at least for pop-append oriented deques, a popping analogue to extend would make use of deques in iterators easier. It should ideally return an iterator, possibly with an added __len__ method. I suggest the names popn and popnleft.
