One case I've been thinking about is that of maintaining a list of Decimal 
objects that are sorted by absolute value.  For this, having to create a 
list of (abs(x), x) pairs just seems clumsy compared to using a key 
argument to bisect.

Perhaps this is a contrived use case, but it doesn't seem totally 
implausible.
