I'm curious if folks have other concrete examples of global bindir
executables other than nosetests and pydoc that need to be disambiguated
by Python version.  I'd hate to see it become standard practice to
append "3" to scripts generated by packages which happen to use Python
3, as it will just sort of perpetuate its otherness.
