Be sure to capture in the PEP (within reason) a summary of concerns and rebuttals/acquiescence. Eli's, Brett's, and Antoine's concerns likely reflect what others are thinking as well. The PEP and its result will be better for recording such matters. In fact, that's a key goal of PEPs. :)
I now have a paragraph summarizing the "narrowing of scope" benefit, though not worded as a rebuttal of a concern. Eli's concern is mainly that this can be abused, which everything can; should I include something about that? Brett's issue is with the colon. I'll write up a paragraph or two of reasoning as to why that was selected, possibly tomorrow, but the main reason is simply that nobody came up with a compelling argument in favour of any other. Hardly the most epic tale :) ChrisA
