I can't speak on the specific merits of this proposal, or whether this
kind of functionality is desirable. However, I'm -1 on the addition of
a builtin for this functionality (the PEP doesn't actually say that
there is another builtin, but the examples suggest so). Instead, putting
it into the sys, array, struct, or ctypes modules might be more
appropriate, as might be the introduction of another module.
