__features__ is a terrible name.  Its pretty obvious that you
(and a lot of other people on this list) don't understand what
__future__ does.

A small hint: pretend you are using 2.2 and want to use nested
scopes.  Will you be using "from __future__ import
nested_scopes"?  What if you are using 2.2 and don't want nested
scopes?
