There is no emergency for Knuth's algorithm of, course.  However, if I
mentioned it, this was as an invitation for the package to be designed with
an opened mind about extensibility.  And it usually helps opening the mind,
pondering various avenues.

What should we read in your "hopelessly out of scope" comment, above?
Do you mean you would object beforehand that Python offers it?
