[Python-Dev] mmapfile module

[Andrew M. Kuchling]

A while back the suggestion was made that the mmapfile module be added
to the core distribution, and there was a guardedly positive reaction.
Should I go ahead and do that?  No one reported any problems when I
asked for bug reports, but that was probably because no one tried it;
putting it in the core would cause more people to try it.

I suppose this leads to a more important question: at what point
should we start checking 1.6-only things into the CVS tree?  For
example, once the current alphas of the re module are up to it
(they're not yet), when should they be checked in?
