And to long term users of C/Perl/etc., once they map the numerical 
concepts correctly. But I hardly thing we should be arguing about this
at this stage: I'm willing to leave this as an open issue in the PEP,
if this is all you find wrong with it...

And a request to all Python-Devvers: please direct comments directly to
me, and I promise I'll summarize them all in the PEP. As soon as I
get a PEP number, I'll publish an updated version, with all objections and open
issues sumarized.
