[Python-3000] Low-hanging fruit: change interpreter prompt?

Hello,
it's a minor issue, but I was wondering if the interpreter prompt could be
changed in Py3K. The current prompt is ">>>" which happens to match the
standard character used for quotes in e-mails. As a result, intepreter
sessions might look funky when copy & pasted inside mails.
Given that showing interactive sessions in e-mails is *very* common and
encouraged, it might be worthy to change the prompt to avoid this conflict.
Something like "-->" or "---" or "%%%" or really *anything* else but sequences
of ">" and "|" would do.
