How do you measure "showing any interest"? I certainly use deques
regularly (thank you for implementing them) and I'm sure others do too.
I'm also interested in how the type is implemented and what the
tradeoffs are there. Otherwise I wouldn't have noticed your commit.

(if you remember, I was also interested enough to propose grafting
deque-like functionality on OrderedDict:
