Overall the patch looks good.  I don't think it is an extremely important feature, but similar support is already available in other places (e.g. 'struct', 'ctypes').

Here is a patch updated for py3k with some minor additions:

   (1) Fixed some doc inconsistencies.
   (2) Added pickling support for the new type codes.  The special
       pickling support looks only to be in py3k.

(2) needs unit tests if possible.  If anyone has any good ideas on how to test, then I would be happy to implement the tests.
