I'm not sure what you mean. Do you think it would be an improvement if int
and str could be customized? I doubt that. I can easily think of mutually
exclusive extensions that would prevent modules from different authors from
working together. If you have a compelling addition, why not suggest it for
inclusion in the next version of Python?

Another option is to adopt quixote's technique of turning str into htmltext.
