Thanks, Matz...

I'm sure all of us involved would love to see it
in the standard distribution.

As for your comment about including the module:
I guess what you mean is that we should do a 
'def' in each of those three places, and use the
qualified name inside that definition, correct?

I think David has changed the source since the
last version I have. I will pass this on to him.
