The unstated For what it's worth, and at the risk of prolonging this uninteresting sub-branch of an otherwise interesting thread, I thought Alex's posting was an erudite and well-written flame. I didn't find it abusive, but was certainly startled at Alex's vehemence (especially with the 'monkeys typing' quote, which is now in the quotation file). The idea of hygenic macros may or may not be a good one, but Mr. Alan's case is certainly better presented than the average new-feature posting, and I'd give him some leeway just for that alone. (Plus we Kate Bush fans stick together.) I agree with Tim that an explicit proposal is worth reams of list messages, and look forward to a PEP. --amk
