Ya, but people don't know what they need until after you give it to them and
later take it away.  Nobody *asked* for Stackless Python either, not to
mention tabnanny.py <wink>.  For that matter, Guido personally rammed Python
down an uninterested world's constricted throat.

Upload a patch to SourceForge.  Then it won't get lost, it's with all the
other contributed ideas that may actually go somwhere, and interested
parties can (and will) play with it.
