What's up with site.Quitter?

[James Stroud]

Hello All,

Still jubilantly configuring my work environment for python 2.5, I came 
accross a curiosity when writing an automatic vim syntax file creator 
(so I can automatically update my syntax coloring with future python 
releases).

It seems I can find a reference to just about every type except those 
for "exit" and "quit" in the standard library somewhere. E.g.:

py> type(__builtins__.Ellipsis) is types.EllipsisType
True

However, in an appearant break with consistency, this can not be done 
for "exit" and "quit" because site.Quitter is nested inside of the 
setquit() function in the site.py module.

Would moving this class definition to module level be something that 
would meet with great resistance?

I was thinking of posting to python-dev, but that list looked pretty 
high-level.

James
