Indeed, so which is being proposed here? My answer is the same in both
cases (I don't think it's worth adding to the stdlib) but which
justification I need to express depends on which option is being
proposed :-)

Maybe. It still needs someone to get down to details and propose
something specific. And I'll still be between -0.5 and -1 on it, but
you don't need to convince me personally, you just need some level of
support from *some* of the core devs, and/or broad community support
sufficient to persuade at least one core dev to merge a PR
implementing the idea.
