Last time I looked it was an incredibly complicated piece of code that
would have to be refactored considerably before it would be
maintainable by the core developers. I never did manage to get a good
understanding of the code, but I expect that a lot of the complexity
exists so that it works for all Python versions. The stdlib version
shouldn't need this -- it should only care about providing a stable
API that works with the current version.
