On the other hand, it would be nice to have a module that implements various design patterns. The Bunch, the Borg, the Null, the Proxy all nicely documented tucked away in their separate module. That would feel a lot less like littering the standard name space with an class that just "seems" to be useful.
From the (pre-)PEP:
"This PEP proposes a standard library addition..."
Bunch would go into the standard library (probably the collections module) not to the __builtins__. I don't see how this "litters the standard namespace".
