OK, here's my summary of the good things we should copy:

(In that order:)

-- Weak references (as weak dictionaries? would "w{}" to signify a weak
   dictionary is alright parser-wise?)
-- Binary numbers -- way way cool (and doesn't seem to hard -- need to
   patch the tokenizer, PyLong_FromString and PyOS_strtoul: anything
   I've missed?)
