In the prototype implementation it is slightly longer
in some cases, but if we're willing to introduce a few
more bytecode instructions it could be made the same
length.

I'll see about adding some discussion on this to the
PEP.

Concerning examples, there's already one included with
the patch file, but it's not very visible anywhere.

Would you like the examples included in-line in the PEP
(they will be about 2-3 screenfuls each or so) or would
it be better to host them elsewhere and just put links
in the PEP?
