So I think we need a builtin. Well, the ugliness shouldn't survive forever if the community shifts over to using pathlib while the built-in will. We also don't have a built-in for index() so it depends on whether we expect this sort of thing to be the purview of library authors or if normal people will be interacting with it (it's probably both during the transition, but I don't know afterwards).

For index the "built-in" is:

from operator import index

-n
