Okay, I guess I mis-remembered what had been agreed to.  Should this go
into What's New?  This also disagrees with Misc/NEWS:

- Patch #1446372: quit and exit can now be called from the interactive
  interpreter to exit.

Here are my tests:

: python
Python 2.4 (#1, Jan 17 2005, 14:59:14)
[GCC 3.3.3 (NetBSD nb3 20040520)] on netbsd2

>>> quit
'Use Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit.'
