I think the "fast implementation" issue has triggered people's comments,
rather than the "higher level tools" one.

For the record, I'm +1 on the idea (as far as "higher level tools" goes).
I'm not too bothered, in practice, how efficient the implementation is, as
long as it's not visibly slower than using lists/dicts directly :-)
