Guido van Rossum added the comment: Given Nick's feedback (and imagining what this would do to some codebases I know) I think this idea is dead, sadly. A helper function just doesn't give enough value, so let's not pursue that (it's easy to write the helper you want, it's hard to agree on what helper everybody should want).
