/Developer/Applications/Sampler.app -- one of the various performance

No!   This would change the behavior of the Foundation in a fashion 
that *may* break Apple (or other's) code.   When embedding the Python 
interpreter in existing apps [I have a project started that does just 
that], we really, really, really want to avoid *any* categories or 
posing that *changes* the behavior of the existing API unless it is 
quite explicitly a change the developer intends.
