Can you give an example of its use? Maybe there are such examples in
the tracker discussion, but I'm not following the tracker, and I think
it would add some weight to the discussion here if use cases were
noted.

At the moment, the impression I get is that most of the python-dev
comments are negative, but (without looking to confirm) most of the
tracker comments are positive. If so, getting everything in one place
will make it easier to see a balanced discussion.

Having said all this, I agree with the point that this should be
deferred to 2.7/3.1 now we're in beta. So there's hardly a rush.

Paul.
