  AFAICT, there was interest in including this patch even without a full
PEP.  Christian is currently on vacation.  There is a unoficial PEP
draft at http://www.async.com.br/~kiko/pep-numeric.txt

  I stopped working on the patch because there was nothing more to do. 
But I'm willing to do some more effort as necessary to include this in
Python 2.4.

  Best regards.
