Tim, I'm sorry to hear you can't accept my patch. I am afraid I want to stay anonymous.

You have my word that I wrote the two code segments above (based on code already in CPython) and that I put them in the public domain. But I appreciate that the word of `anon` may be worth nothing to you. For what it is worth I could have used a fake name anyway.

If you can't accept them, may I request someone else implement the proposal? This may be for the best anyway since I am unfamiliar with CPython internals.
