_IF_ PyProtocols turned out to be useful and popular, then it would
definitely want to become part of the standard library. The whole idea
behind writing it is to try and beat the chicken-egg-problem by
getting it in use somewhere. If you think it will be useful (and you
wouldn't waste time writing it if you didn't think so) then plan for
success and write it so it can be in the standard library.

The documentation tool itself is another question. I, myself, don't
feel a real need for this, but perhaps others do.
