This has come up a couple of times recently (discussions on PEP 421
and PEP 405), so I think it would be worth while. I don't have the
time to track all of the different proposals that are in flux; it
would be nice to know when they're "done" and just need a sanity check
to make sure everything will work for other implementations.
