I suggest that it be updated in two ways: 1. Clarify the final statement - I seem to have the impression (sorry, can't find a message to back it up) that either the BDFL or Tim Peters is very against anything other than the "simple" #f.a = 1# sort of thing - unless I'm mischannelling (?) again. 2. Reference the thread/idea a little while back that ended with #def f(a,b) having (publish=1)# - it's certainly no *worse* than the proposals in the PEP!
