Yeah, I usually check something into Tools/scripts/ after 50 people ask for
it.  Guido never says anything, but I can sense him scowling.  Then after a
few years he demands to move it into the library.  So I do.  Then he
complains that the exposed API is more suitable for a tool than a library,
but that we have more important things to do than twiddle the API.  It's a
lot of fun to play within the system <wink>!
