Not only that, but I think the aesthetics of this version are *worse*
than anything that's been considered before. It strikes me as deeply
wrong and un-Pythonic -- so much so that I can't understand why Guido
is even considering it.
Was he abducted by aliens the other night and given a personality
transplant or something? It's the only plausible explanation I can
think of.
