CPython Extension Proposals should be called CEPs

I never think *only* of CPython when reading PEPs. Unless the PEP is
clearly and obviously about an implementation detail of CPython, I
always read them as proposing a *Python* language change. Doesn't
everyone?

But I don't understand your comment. Are you suggesting that CPython
will be exempt from this proposal? Or that the proposal is aimed at
helping alternative implementations?

Should we be thinking specifically of some alternate implementation? If
not, then the purpose of this "very important point" isn't clear to me.
