Most programming languages provide one standard sorted mapping
implementation.

GvR is highly suspicious of the utility of trees and wouldn't like to
take the burden of maintaining them in the stdlib.

So in my Python software (both at work and at home) needs, I use a
Python AVL tree implementation of my own. My use case is timers. (GvR
uses heapq for the purpose.)
