We had a discussion about this PEP at our group meeting today.  Rather
than write it all twice, I'm going to try to update the PEP and patch
tonight.  I think what we came up with will solve most of the problems
raised, and will be implementable in Jython (I'll try to work up a
Jython patch too, if I don't fall asleep first :)
