Thanks for that. Is this new PEP meant to supersede PEP 576?

If you want to bring up this PEP now during the PEP 576/580 discussion, 
maybe it's best to formally submit it now? Having an official PEP number 
might simplify the discussion. If it turns out to be a bad idea after 
all, you can still withdraw it.

In the mean time, I remind you that PEP 576 also doesn't have a complete 
reference implementation (the PEP links to a "reference implementation" 
but it doesn't correspond to the text of the PEP).


Jeroen.
