There's probably a bit of dutch in me, but likely not sufficient to
alter my language intuitions.

Considering your quote, I have thusfar not seen any opinion dissenting
from what I stated as 'obvious' behavior.  As I told Michael Chermside
off-list: "Sure, great, clarify it.  I wasn't saying anything in regards
to whether it should or shouldn't [be clarified], just why it probably
wasn't already."

Also considering that I lack SVN commit permission, it's not within my
power to clarify the PEP.
