I want to make it clear that this section of the PEP is intended only to
provide some choices and examples, not to be definitive.  I've added this
text:

    This could be done in any number of ways, a few of which are outlined
    below.  These are included for illustrative purposes only and are not
    intended to be definitive, complete, or all-encompassing.  Other
    approaches are possible, and some included below may have limitations
    that prevent their use in some situations.

Does that help?
