Now for the controversial bit .

Can't leave well enough alone, can you, Barry? =)

I still think it's worthwhile to turn the string module into a package. The sandbox has an implementation of this that is completely backward compatible. I like it because it segregates the deprecated functions into a separate sub-module and makes the whole shebang easier to maintain. It also provides an existing namespace for future expansion, as has been discussed before.

In case Guido cares, I personally am (and have been) +1 on the re-organization.
