I agree that it isn't so important to be swayed by #1 and #2 above.  But
there is a #3.  I've introduced over fifty programmers (coming from Java)
to Jython and a high percentage trip over this initially (momentarily, at
least ;-).  It doesn't take much to get past it, obviously, but it's a
little nicer not to stumble to begin with.  (my final 2 cents worth :-)
