I agree with Tim. Subject, of course, to the same caveat Tim mentions: does
the creator want this?
I haven't used the library much, but it's obviously top quality, and adding
pure-Python code is less burden than C implementations.

+1 from me, but if and only if Grant Jenks (its author) wants that too.
It's first-rate code in all respects, including that it's a fine

IMO if someone is motivated to get a new container type in Python, a
PEP is required.
A PEP has been written for the new removeprefix() and removesuffix()
methods which are way simpler ;-)
I expect many questions on corner cases for a sorted container type.
