Greg Wilson:
Again, do we have any data --- however imperfectly gathered --- to back up
claims either way?  As I said in a previous post, I'm going to start
teaching a new bunch of never-seen-Python-before undergrads on May 15; if
there are proposals for new syntax (not just sets) that people want me to
try out on paper, I'd be happy to talk about it.

Thanks,
Greg
