I believe there'll be a huge outcry once it actually looks like
this is going to be in Python for real, when the people who don't track 
the Python development discover what's up with this.

I for once still have a hard time actually believing right now that I'll
have to go through a lot of source code evaluating each and every /
to determine if I want a // or a / there.

So, just wait a bit until this looks like it's going to be real and people
realize what they have to do. We haven't even started to see the beginning
of the complaints. :)

Regards,

Martijn
