[Guido van Rossum]

spir,

If you are serious about your idea I would recommend that you try to build
a library that implements your convention. It's a clear that you have put a
lot of thought in your proposal. It is not so clear that it will be an
improvement. It is also not so clear that there won't be implementation
roadblocks. However, it *is* clear that most people do not think it is
worth the effort. You can be sure that the effort would be significant --
not just in coding it up, but in documentation, education, getting people
to adopt it, and so on. So, since this is open source, if you really, truly
believe in your idea, build it. You will definitely learn something. You
may end up rejecting your own idea. Or you may find a better way. Or you
may pave the road for adoption. There is only one way to find out.
