Just a techinical note: if you're going to go through the effort of 
typeing something up and sending it on the group, might want to make 
sure your newsreader dosen't break your line-formatting when you send 
it. Stuff like this:

------
Abstract

    This PEP proposes to compact the list of built-in functions through
    relocation and deprecation.  map(), reduce() and filter() would ... 
a
    separate module for functionals.  pow() and divmod() would move ... 
    the math module.  input() would be eliminated altogether.
------

(i'm just trying to show how it looks, my reader wants to wrap it -
worse- and I don't want to reformat it, so i trimmed long lines).
