And put them on a page on codespeak.
I have two proposals (for things I haven't seen addressed in the WP's,
but you'll correct me if I'm wrong):
* add CLOS/Dylan generic functions to Py{Py|thon} (bags of methods that
are selected according to the tuple of the types of their mandatory
arguments), and method combinations (before, after and around methods)
* add the Common Lisp "Condition System" (essentially HANDLER-BIND,
RESTART-BIND, SIGNAL - like functionality) to PyPy
Those are two things I miss currently in Python - especially generic
functions - and would like to have and would gladly attempt to implement
if I were mandated to :) (but I have interesting and difficult Oz stuff
to think about right now).
Cheers,
Aurélien.
