Because we already have it.  If the caveats had been known when it was
introduced, maybe it wouldn't have been.  The question is whether you
can convince python-dev that it's worth changing the definition of
sum().  IMO that's going to be very hard to do.  All the suggestions
I've seen so far are (IMHO, YMMV) just as ugly as the present
situation.
