It's c.l.p and people are free to express their opinions. Even negative.
This helps improve Python.

As for concepts, they are from Generic Programming  (by Musser and Stepanov)
and I feel that Python is in position to implement them to the fullest extent.
And IMHO it will be nicer than just Java-like interfaces or Eiffel's contract
approach.

I can try to write a PEP "Generic Programming Concepts".
