Summary: Alternative to __future__ imports
Initial Comment:
This patch adds an alternative notation for selecting
nested scopes on the module level, by means of a
directive nested_scopes
declaration. This is a declaration, and it may only
appear at the "beginning" of a module. Even though it
adds a keyword "directive", this is only a keyword if
it appears as the first keyword in the file; as a
result,
def directive():
directive = 1
is still accepted (even without warning, but that could
be changed if desired).
The patch currently only accepts the directives that
are also __future__ imports, although it can be
extended to allow other things, e.g.
directive source_encoding "latin-1"
This is possible since the syntax allows an optional
atom after the directive's name.

Assigned to Guido: since the patch would replace the
current future_statement implementation, doing anything
with it before Friday would require BDFL decree.
I personally like that future_statements don't look like
general directives:
directive integer_division
directive left_hand_side_swap
Over time, the set of names grows, and it won't be clear
which directives are dead-serious business (like an
incompatible language change) and which minor tweaking of
pragmatics.
An extension was briefly discussed on c.l.py, along the
lines of adding another word, e.g.
directive future integer_division
directive pragma left_hand_side_swap
Whatever, AFAIK that didn't get implemented, and there's no
PEP for it (or this) in any case (BTW, while I would like
to see a PEP for a general directive facility, I'm not
going to write one).

@Home is major-league hosed; switching to another ISP to
delete 3 of the 4(!) patch copies I managed to attach to
this.
