[Python-3000] AST access (WAS: Adaptation vs. Generic Functions)

[Guido van Rossum]

If someone really wants AST access in Python 3000, they should design
and implement an API and propose it. I see it as a borderline feature
from the POV of my own agenda for Python 3000, but not as something
I'd likely reject if it were to be offered on a silver platter;
especially if there was a clear path towards providing the same
feature for IronPython, Jython and PyPy.
