<A wonderful summary>

I'm wondering if we should add a link to Steven's post from
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0299/ (and perhaps even update the
PEP text itself)

As the status of PEP 299 shows, Guido has rejected the idea of a
special main function before, but I think Steven's post does a better
job of spelling out "Why not?" than any of the previous discussions.

Cheers,
Nick.
