it's still listed under "possible additions" in the release PEP, and there don't seem to be a PEP or any other easily located document that explains exactly how it works, what's required from library developers, how it affects existing toolchains, etc. is this really ready for inclusion ? does anyone but Phillip understand how it works ?
I don't understand it. My concern is that it appears to involve a lot of magic. This magic might do the "right thing" in many cases, and it might indeed help the user that the magic is present, yet I still do believe that magic is inherently evil: explicit is better than implicit. Regards, Martin
