If my feeling is right, then the PEP should clearly explicit this goal [of pushing `$' forward], it will make the PEP stronger.
I will neither confirm nor deny whether the PSU is bankrolling the PEP 292 initiative, nor the actual existence of any 527 organization claiming to be called the "PSU", nor whether if they did exist, they were or weren't acting in coordination with the campaign organizations of any 2004 US presidential nominee.
Nice joking. Still, yet, and nevertheless, I think making the PEP closer to the truth might make it stronger. It might also repair a bit the feeling that the PEP process is sometimes mildly lacking (the @-PEP having been ratehr publicised as an example of this, recently).
Um, PEP 318 has nothing to do with this, and I think the PEP 292 process has been fairly accurate, disagreements about interface notwithstanding. Maybe $'s make sense for Python 3000, but that was never my goal, explicit or subversive, for PEP 292. -Barry
