Even if it were made to work, though, it'd mean you suddenly and unexpectedly get backward-incompatible changes when you run your code on a new version.

Properly implemented, it would use the time machine module to find every feature that will ever be implemented in Python. So once you had updated your code to be compatible with all of them, it would *never* break again! The neat thing is that it would take just one use of the time machine to backport this feature, and it would then bootstrap itself into existence. -- Greg
