I still have to read this but I've assigned a PEP number. Henceforth this
will be known as PEP 465. So far I really like what I've read.

On the bikeshedding, if someone wants to start introducing Unicode
(non-ASCII) characters as operators they would have to propose a separate
PEP arguing the benefits of Unicode -- I am heavily opposed to doing that
ATM, for reasons that have already been brought up in the bikeshed.
