Well it was fun watching the process that is python-ideas and the shooting down in flames that happens here. Can someone give me some advice about what to think about/do for the next time that an idea comes to mind?
Just what you did this time. As the tagline says, "In order for there to be good ideas, there must first be lots of ideas." (No, I don't remember who said it, or even who's tagline it is.)
Actually, that question makes me think that a meta-PEP on the process of vetting an idea before starting a real PEP might be worthwhile. In particular, that people should come up with real-world use cases and try and think of the worst abuses that might occur, etc. <mike
