I honestly don't understand that. Data structures are just code ... isn't it much more work to change syntax and interfaces instead of adding some decent implementations of data structures to the library?

The syntax changes happened very much against Guido's will - he actively tried to remove lambda (and I believe map as well) for quite a while. Anyone can write whatever Python libraries they want, but I doubt anything of the sort would be added to the standard library, and certainly nothing that would require an FP-aware interpreter to optimize in a useful way.
