Does Guido Have A Will? (The legal kind <wink>)

No, sorry, but I *already* own Python.  I employ Guido as a front man,
because it's apparently much easier for people to relate to a Dutch geek
than a bot geek.  Personally, I have a hard time telling the species
apart -- but the customer is always right (oh yes! whitespace sucks too --
but only when that's what you want to hear <wink>).

Curiously, I had occasion to ask Guido about this very recently:  he is in
fact not at all tired of Python yet, and, to the contrary, seems to intend
intensifying his death grip on the language.  Coming soon to a theater near
you:  Guido van Rossum *is* Python.

This is heresy.  The remainder of this msg has been excised from the
records.  Guido will not die.  But, if he does, Larry Wall has graciously
volunteered to add a few improvements <wink>.
