Ooh. Tempting. But then I would have to give up my Opium addiction to go back and I don't know if I can do that. That communal feel of hanging out in the local Opium den at my cousin's place would be such a loss. =)

Basically I can live with having a single string module, but I would like to see some real deprecation happen. The nice thing about the pacakge separation is it made it clear in the code what would be going away. If we at least at PendingDeprecation to what is supposed to be taken out I will be happy. At the very least, my rewrite of libstring.tex will make it clear which inhabitants of the string module are going to be deprecated. Besides, since it's clear that Python 3000 will take a broader look at standard library packagization, I'll drop this if we can agree that the PEP 292 classes should go in the existing string module.

OK, that works for me.
