As a sometimes bug reviewer who has noticed that a substantial fraction of 
'bug' reports do not actually report CPython bugs, I wish more people would 
do as you did and post here first and get opinions from the wider variety 
of readers here.

A CPython bug is a discrepancy between a reasonable interpretation of the 
doc and the behavior of the CPython implementation.  Your post did not even 
claim such a discrepancy that I could see.

A request for a design change can be put on the RFE (request for 
enhancement) list.  Patches, whether to fix bugs or implement enhancements, 
usually go on the patch list.  Note that you do not necessarily need to 
convince people that the current design is 'flawed' to demonstrate that a 
change would be good.

Perhaps your recipe should be added to the oreilly online python cookbook.
