It seems to me the easiest thing to do is just continue using eggs for this 
feature for now especially if the proposal is just standardizing what eggs do 
and doesn't offer any benefits besides standardization. That gets you all the 
benefits sans standardization and doesn't spend time putting a PEP through (and 
all the back and forth that entails) for something that already works when we 
can spend the time on stuff that still needs actual design work.
