I removed it by mistake due to lack of knowledge, so I undid that mistake.
The status-quo appears to be that these are left in place. I've been told that there was previous discussion on this topic already and the status-quo was not broken. Personally I don't mind.

I don't think we need to revive ^L once it is removed.
The steering council decided there is no real "code owner". Codes are owned by everyone.
On the other hand, ^L is very minor control character nowadays. Many new people use many new editors. I don't believe every common editors support ^L well. And even though editor supports it, people may be confused by it.
If only few core developer likes ^L, why we need to add it even though it is removed by accident? What makes ^L more important than TAB?

Replying to python-committers for visibility, although maybe python-dev would be better.
That's not a "strange non-ASCII character"! That's a form feed (control-L), definitely defined by ASCII.
There are plenty of these in the code. Some people (who won't be named, but match the regex "Barry") like them. I don't think we should start removing them.
Oh wow, I completely missed that! :blush:
Terribly sorry, I'll revert the change.
