I don't think we get a vote.  After all, we have Guido the Benevolent
Dictator, don't we?  And we all know how he's going to vote (if you can
call it vote--it's more like fiat).

But for what it's worth, I agree.  I like Python because it's *clean*
and powerful.  This suggested change probably wouldn't affect the power,
but it would certainly increase the level of possible clutter.  Somebody
would find a way to enforce it, too, even if only for their own code. 
That doesn't strike me as The Python Way.

<so-if-you-want-clutter-visit-your-aunt>-ly y'rs,
