Well, the PEP will be mostly boilerplate anyway (unless there's a sudden
influx of old ideas) so I'm sure I can whip something up before next
weekend. I'll probably keep the actual list of rejected items to implicit
self (which started the whole discussion), upgrading the Python parser
beyond a simple LL(1), and maybe implicit ()'s for functioncalls, if I feel
inspired. The exact wording, and additional rejects, can be discussed at
length by those interested.
