Seconded from me. IMHO it's only worth adding a new feature if it
multiplies power by a significant amount; if it just adds a tiny
increment, it's not worth adding a small bit of extra complexity,
extra code, and having to resync JPython and Python# (does that
project have a name yet?).

The urge to add little tiny things that make microtask X convenient is
what made Perl -- and Sendmail, and DTML, and ... -- what they are
today.
