Guido already shot this idea down. (It's one of the items in the PEP-13
draft Brett put in my mailbox.) You're free to make a PEP, of course,
especially if it covers every pro and con. But you'll have to work hard,
very hard, to convince Guido (and me, and many others, but we don't count.)

If you are going to make a real PEP, don't forget to ask for feedback on
python-list a few times.
