Thanks, Antoine!
Raymond Hettinger has volunteered to be the PEP dictator (is that the word we use?) for this PEP.
The discussion has settled down for the most part, and there is a consensus amongst participants on the desireability of the feature and its characteristics. The implementation is straightforward pure Python (Serhiy's C proposal should probably be a separate enhancement request on the tracker). I think the proposal will soon be ready for a pronouncement - unless other concrete questions and suggestions are recorded. Thanks Antoine.
