I don't know who started this, but the PEP 418 threads have altogether
too much snarkiness and not enough content. It's bad enough that we're
bikeshedding so intensely; we don't need clever comebacks in
triplicate to every out-of-context argument.

Gah! ALL functions are like that! How often do we see questions about max() or split() etc that a close reading of the docs obviate?
