[IronPython] LINQ in IronPython?

Hello all,

It would be great to have LINQ in IronPython - but I don't think it can 
be done without extending the Python syntax. Understandably the Python 
community will be concerned about this.

Fortunately Python has a built-in way of enabling (or disabling) 
language features - the __future__ imports.

If you could agree with the Python developers to get a 'reserved' flag 
for LINQ (one that CPython promises never to use) then develoeprs could 
enable LINQ by starting files with:

from __future__ import LINQ
