Isn't this precisely what a review is supposed to assess?

I'm not sure it's a good idea for a module with more than 10000 lines
of C code (and 4000 lines of pure Python code). This is several times
the size of multiprocessing. The C code looks very cleanly written, but
it's still a big chunk of algorithmically sophisticated code.

Another "interesting" question is whether it's easy to port to the PEP
393 string representation, if it gets accepted.
