Why write a new function for something
that doesn't seem to be _that_ widely useful, and can easily be

To expand on this a bit more: I think the "number of lines in the
implementation" is not a good metric to decide whether or not to include
a function. And perhaps it's clear for you that it's those two lines, it
might not be that clear for everybody (just look at the implementation
of is_prime_power() for proof=False in arith.py)
