New PEP: The directive statement

[Timothy Grant]

I am not one of the gods of Python, but I'm not Python
illiterate either. 

When I read PEP 236. I cringed. I understand the value, but the
solution seemed far from elegant, and in Python, most things
seem elegant (except for lambda<wink>.

When I read the below suggestion it made far more sense to me,
and seemed to be a more elegant solution to the problem.
