I'd be inclined to uuencode any large Python programs I posted; I've
been through the whitespace saga with posted C patches, and uuencoding
was the only way around that.  Block marking's a lost cause, tho'; I've
been trying to find some straightforward way of simulating it, but all
the solutions so far have been worse than the problem.
