This needs more documentation than the typical patch.
I disagree. So far, nobody has spoken against the proposed feature. It's really a small addition of a new method to an existing type. Entire classes have been added to the standard library without a PEP. People can still criticize the patch when its posted (and it's not clear that the OP is even willing to produce a patch).
