PEP 262 still has many, *many* XXX comments marking potential issues
that need to be cleared up before it can be implemented.  Most aren't
particulaly complicated, just cases where I'm not sure if a feature is
needed or if it's just extra fluff.  

Once those uncertainties are cleaned up, I'll try to get it
implemented for the Python 2.3 time frame.
