Sorry about your frustration. I should not have given you hope about PEP 555 -- it was never going to make it, so I should just have spared you the effort. Do you want to withdraw it or do I have to actually reject it?

Hmm, or more accurately, it has to do with me going crazy because of the frustration of how the PEP 555 discussions went. We could have arrived at the same conclusion [*] in much less time and with less pulling one's hair out.

But this discrepancy probably comes from the fact that we're not dealing with the most pure kind of being Dutch here.

You seem to be making a joke, but I have *no idea* what the joke is.

Are you making fun of Guido's choice of preferred name? "time_ns"
instead of "time_nanoseconds" perhaps?

Other than that, I cannot imagine what the joke is about. Sorry for
being so slow.
