Frankly, that doesn't bother me, especially given that they've always
been in the string module. But I count more than 4 constants that
should be kept:
ascii_letters
ascii_lowercase
ascii_uppercase
digits
hexdigits
octdigits
whitespace
All of these could reasonably live on both str and unicode if that's
not considered pollution. But if they live in a module, there's no
reason not to keep string around for that purpose.
(I don't object to making them class attributes; I object to creating
a new module for them.)
