I'm completely open to changes as long as there is a reasonable consensus around
them. Your proposal looks sane, although the fact that a semi-private method
(starting with an underscore) is designed to be overriden in some classes is a
bit annoying.

I'd also like to have some advice from Guido, since he was one of the driving
forces behind the specification and the original Python implementation.
