 This isn't ever going to be a standard feature. It's available as a
third-party package and that's fine.

I'd like to add a historic note -- this was first proposed around 1995 by
Michael McLay. (Sorry, I don't have an email sitting around, but I'm sure
he brought this up at or around the first Python workshop at NIST in 1995
-- I was his guest at NIST for several months at the time.)
