The real world's no fun.  A peek at the types module shows that Python 
already has 33 fundamental types, which means there are already 
33!=8683317618811886495518194401280000000 ways of combining them by this 
strange factorial rule.  It's trivial to show that Python is already 
impossible to use as a programming language.  Unless perhaps we can all 
give ourselves super intelligence as well.
