That's why I think it should go on python-dev. If the code hadn't been 
checked in and you were asking "what do you think of solving this by 
using the following code", I think you'd put it on python-dev. I'd want 
the discussion of an actual checkin to occur in that same venue.

That said, I'm +1 on the idea, but only +0 on python-dev.
