Has anyone thought about features that Python does not have that should be in Minimal? My first candidate would be (ducks) macros,
as a final user visible feature, I hope not. As an implementation then invisible tool maybe/why not. IMHO the user visible language part should be 100% Python compatible. At least this should be the goal. But, in the build process of the Minimal Python core we could (and should?) use feature to simplify the implementation. Like generating source/classes from a formal description (eg. XML).
