Looks good to me. I might also suggest misc.e:
pretty_print (2.4)
(couldn't find anything for 2.3)
sleep (2.2)
reverse (2.1)
misc.e was introduced in 2.0

Unfortunately, I can't suggest a check for 2.6!

Maybe, if Rob does not think a version() routine is warranted, he
could at least reserve say 65 as an opcode for machine_func.

On a personal note, Derek, if you do wander off, I hope you find what
you're looking for and remember to stop by once in a while. I can't in
all honesty ask you to stay since it is clearly making you unhappy.
I wouldn't be here without your efforts on win32lib. You'll certainly
be missed.

All the best,
Pete
