I didn't mean to discourage you or disparage your idea; I do think it's a 
good idea.

Instead, I wanted to encourage you to have some patience with your idea. 
Explore the Python source and get an implementation working first; after 
that, the proposal and subsequent PEP are easier to keep focused. It also 
makes it easier to keep the community discussion focused if there is a 
runnable and testable implementation of the proposal. Without a driving 
implementation, it is easy for the discussion to become unduly abstract, 
religious, or personal.

Best of luck once you get the source; I look forward to reading your 
discoveries and updated proposal.
