fun codeop hack

[logistix]

Replace the Compile class with the following:

class Compile:
    """Instances of this class behave much like the built-in compile
    function, but if one is used to compile text containing a future
    statement, it "remembers" and compiles all subsequent program texts
    with the statement in force."""
    macros = []
    def __init__(self):
        self.flags = 0

    def __call__(self, source, filename, symbol):
        for macro in Compile.macros:
            source = macro(source)
        codeob = compile(source, filename, symbol, self.flags, 1)
        for feature in _features:
            if codeob.co_flags & feature.compiler_flag:
                self.flags |= feature.compiler_flag
        return codeob

Now you can do all kinds of fun stuff like this
in IDLE and PythonWin

PS. For the record I'm perfectly happy with current for loop syntax.  Just
thought it was a good example
