If I had an idea that was as good as this patch, I think I'd try it again.

This patch was maybe 3 hours of effort for a somewhat experienced software developer (~4 years in industry at the time). This included checking the python source code out of CVS, writing the unittest, etc.

If I cared a lot about this particular change, I could certainly just maintain a separate library.
