If necessary, we could add a debug mode switch for L's to be on or off. By putting it the debug build, we keep people from using it in production code. The purpose is to allow code to be run twice to see if different results are obtained.
But making a debug build is far from trivial (especially on Windows). Perhaps it should be a switch on the regular build but also produce a warning, to annoy. :-)
That would work.
Also, we can put migration advice in PEP 290 and whatsnew24.tex to grep for indicators like [:-1] on the same line as long() or repr().
Can you take care of that?
Yes, when the time comes. Raymond
