Hmm, or more accurately, it has to do with me going crazy because of the
frustration of how the PEP 555 discussions went. We could have arrived at
the same conclusion [*] in much less time and with less pulling one's hair
out.

But this discrepancy probably comes from the fact that we're not dealing
with the most pure kind of being Dutch here.

​[*] Although right now different people still have slightly different
ideas about what that conclusion is.  ​
