This will be a bikeshed argument until Guido speaks out his
preference/decision I guess.

But isn't it a more common solution to name the base class just Number and
derive from it by means of using Base.Number or something similar? Looks
cleaner to me rather than all these odd looking pre- or suffixes. (I am not
charmed about ABC in the name at all to be honest, doesn't really give me a
Python feeling.)
