Long ago, when the operator module was first introduced, there was a much stronger correspondence between the operator.__dunder__ functions and dunder methods. But I think that correspondence is now so weak that we should simply treat it as a historical artifact.

+1 from me, with this rationale. The specifics sounds pretty good to me, too - happy to review a PR if you put one together :)

http://bugs.python.org/issue30085 For some reason, Github won't allow me to log in at the moment. It keeps insisting I need to enable cookies, even though I have. Perhaps it doesn't like my browser? I'll have to try on another computer with a different browser. Terry, you had some nice suggestions for wording. If you want to submit a PR, feel free to take over the issue. I probably won't get a chance to do any more on this for a week. -- Steve
