Yes, the use case of deepcopy is indeed quite different (and to be honest it doesn't appear in my actual experience -- I can "imagine" some as well as the next man, but they'd be made out of whole cloth:-). But I was under the impression that you wanted them in PEP 323 too? Maybe I misunderstood your words. Should I take them out of PEP 323? In that case somebody else can later PEP that if they want, and I can basically wash my hands of them -- what do you think?

I think it would be better of PEP 323 only did copy, so you can remove all traces of deepcopy. I don't recall what I said, maybe I wasn't clear.
