Just to be clearer, I have assumed that the turtle.py module in the standaerd library
is exactly the turtle.py module that the BDFL had judged was appropriate for
the standard library.  And I never had a problem with it.  It is appropriately minimal.

IMO, a less minimal one is less appropriate.

Do you think I am arguing to argue, or do you at least believe that I mean
what I say. And for reasons that may be judged wrong,  but are not outlandish in
any possible way.

Which is why I think a PEP might be nice to see if there is anyone else out
there who sees it as I do.

Besides the fact that - before the issuance of the new memo I didn't get - that ,at least 
arguably, would just represent adherence to SOP.
