I guess we should avoid having branches without tickets.  There's still the
sandbox to develop stuff where the direction is uncertain.

I don't have any problem with it going into Twisted, and if you're
looking for more informative spewage, it's definitely handy.

I would suggest it unequivocally, but it has no unit tests (it's pretty
old).  It's probably salvageable, but even if it not, it should at least
suggest some useful things.
