Against PEP 240

I am strongly opposed to the intent of PEP 240. I would prefer the
literal floats to remain. Let those that want infinite precision pay the
price by adding an 'R' to their literals. This PEP seems purely biassed
towards the needs of naive programmers and I feel that is wrong; this
whole industry has grown up with the old style (and coped quite well).
If naive users are to be the only designers we'll end up badly.
