I didn't expect there to be a problem with offering a standard
implementation, for those who wish to use one.

In the final version, there will be mention of the fact that it /has/
been rejected, including a reference to the post where Guido rejected it. 
That portion has already been done.  I need to finish the module with a
proper set of names for the objects.  I'm still getting replies to a
survey I did of all previous supporters.
