I think this one already caused too much pain:  it appears virtually
everyone uses the two-argument form routinely, and the reason for getting
rid of that seems pretty weak.  As Tres Seaver just wrote on c.l.py,

    Constructing a spurious "address" object (which has no behavior, and
    exists only to be torn apart inside the implementation) seems a
    foolish consistency, beyond doubt.

So offer to back off on this one, in return for making 1/2 yield 0.5 <wink>.
