[issue1023290] proposed struct module format code addition

[Josiah Carlson]

Josiah Carlson <josiahcarlson at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

This isn't about packing arrays of long integers in an array.  I know
the discussion is old, and I know the discussion is long, and honestly,
I don't really need this particular functionality anymore (in the struct
module in particular), but I still believe that being able to pack and
unpack arbitrarily lengthed integers is useful.

What is interesting is that this functionality was supposed to be in
binascii years ago (which I resolved to myself as being sufficient), yet
currently is not.
