I'd love it if we could come up with a different term for these beasts that "new style classes". Some day they won't be new any more, and may in fact be the only kind of classes in Python.
Yes. We should also rename 'newcompile.c' to 'astcompile.c' or something else before merging the AST branch. I've been on a chess kick recently and I find it humorous that the era of hyper-modern openings was about 80 years ago.
I had originally planned to just call it compile.c after the merge, but kept it separate so I could also have the original compiler on the same branch. astcompile.c sounds better. The computing literature has got lots of papers with new in the title, but most of the papers are old. Jeremy
