Just "look"?  Dang, I really thought Tim, Fred, and I had a new recruit
for our CrackPython project.  The first one's free, y'know.

At the very least, my rewrite of libstring.tex will make it clear which
inhabitants of the string module are going to be deprecated.  Besides,
since it's clear that Python 3000 will take a broader look at standard
library packagization, I'll drop this if we can agree that the PEP 292
classes should go in the existing string module.
