Believe me, adding a new method to a heavily-used built-in object is
much more grandiose than adding a library module.  In addition to "15
lines of code" we need to update the documentation, add a few lines to
the test suite, add code to Jython mimicking the feature; 30 books
will be a little more out of date, and so on.
