I've just noticed that the bisect module lacks of the key parameter.
The documentation points to a recipe that could be used to handle a sorted
collection, but I think it's an overkill if I want to bisect my sequence only
once or twice with a key. Having something like `bisect(sequence,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason for this absence is that people could
think that doing repeated bisects using keys would be fast, even though keys
has to be recomputed?
I think the main point Raymond had was:
If we added key= to bisect, it would encourage bad design and steer
