If you're flattered when Guido agrees with you, I'm afraid you'll feel
insulted when Guido doesn't -- since the latter will be more common, give up
the illusion of flattery now to save greater illusory pain later <wink>.
Besides, since Guido said this long before you, it's he who is flattered
that you agree with him.

I wouldn't take that as an indication of difficulty so much as that the few
people very comfortable hacking Python's parser (I'm not one of them) are
too busy with other work.

You mean besides the source code?  Nope.  WYSI all there is.
