PEP 318 is now nearly 14 months old. There's been a truly
staggering number of posts on the subject - and every
time it's raised, the same points come up. The only things
to have happened recently were the new @ syntax, and PJE's
settrace hack.

If not now, when? This could drag on for another 14 months,
otherwise - and I really don't want to hold up 2.4 final
for that long.
