Yes, impartiality being hard to come by.

Is it a deque or a set?  d{a,b,c} could allow you flexibility.

Don't generalize too -far-, though.  This could be used anywhere, akin to
r"a\bc", but don't allow users to 'cook their own'.  Plenty of room but
needs say so with official support.  Queue.Queue, Collections.Deque,
Collections.DefaultDict, set, UserGeom.Point?[1], that's all I can think of.


[1] r{ p{0,0}, p{10,10} }

FTR for the record, how often it's used today doesn't tell how often it will
be used with convenienter syntax, impartiality still being hard to come by.
