I was about to start writing an open issue on this since the biggest
objection from Guido I could find on this topic is
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-July/026409.html , but then
it started to feel like a separate PEP to me.  So I think I am going to pass
on taking on this topic and let someone else tackle it in a PEP.  Sorry,
MAL, but I need to worry about my sanity on this one.  =)
