As I've tried to say several times in my other posts in this thread, 
from a theoretical computer science perspective, Python's all about 
"special cases".

Python's design values elegant solutions for groups of *practical* 
problems observed in the wild, over hyper-generalized solutions to 
problems designed in a laboratory.  That's what makes the language so 
darn practical to use ;-)
