I would like to add something like this to the collections module, but a PEP is probably needed to deal with issues like: frankly, now that Guido is working 50% on Python, do we really have to use the full PEP process also for simple things like this? I'd say we let the BDFL roam free.

PEPs are useful for question-answering purposes even after approval. The design phase can be cut short by simply posting the approved design doc.
