It seems like if this is going to end up in six, it should be in six as soon as possible, and direct use of the separate library should be strongly discouraged.

The daisy chain of fallbacks approach holds - six would just become
another stepping stone on the path to the standard library (and
eventually the type builtin).

Cheers,
