No, I think I misunderstood your original proposal.  Sorry about that.

+1 on Harald's approach, with a provision to remove #1 in some future
version.

P.S. The "+1" is taken from Apache's voting mechanism, as described by
Greg Stein on the Python-Dev list:

http://www.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-March/004312.html

Briefly explained:

+1  "I'm all for it. Do it!"
+0  "Seems cool and acceptable, but I can also live without it"
-0  "Not sure this is the best thing to do, but I'm not against it."
-1  "Veto. And <HERE> is my reasoning."

It's actually worked quite nicely on Python-Dev, so I propose we adopt
it here too.
