In Delphi, there is a "abstract" keyword that can be used as syntactic
sugar as in the example below:
class B:
def __init__(self): abstract
def dosomething(self): abstract
...where "abstract" will raise a "abstract method exception". Do anyone
smells a PEP here <wink>?
(disclaimer: before someone accuses me... Python don't need any extra
reserved word, IMHO)
