Sounds good to me. Adding a new builtin function is a big deal that would likely need a PEP. I'm not keen on adding something like this to the math module, either, when it's so simple to construct from max and min.

Closing as rejected here; it can be re-opened if there's a strong consensus for adding it on the ideas list.
