I was fooling around with Python 3.1 today, and I found this little nugget:

>>> import __future__
>>> dir(__future__)
['CO_FUTURE_ABSOLUTE_IMPORT', 'CO_FUTURE_BARRY_AS_BDFL',
'CO_FUTURE_DIVISION', 'CO_FUTURE_PRINT_FUNCTION',
'CO_FUTURE_UNICODE_LITERALS', 'CO_FUTURE_WITH_STATEMENT',
'CO_GENERATOR_ALLOWED', 'CO_NESTED', '_Feature', '__all__',
'__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__',
'absolute_import', 'all_feature_names', 'barry_as_FLUFL', 'division',
'generators', 'nested_scopes', 'print_function', 'unicode_literals',
'with_statement']

hmm... BARRY_AS_BDFL and barry_as_FLUFL

>>> from __future__ import barry_as_FLUFL
>>>

nothing noticable happened. I googled the latter, and found that it's an April
Fools (of 2009!) checkin that was never reverted.
