Why "from __future__" stinks; a counter-offer

For the future, the time to complain about PEP contents is when the PEP 
is posted, not after it has been posted, discussed, implemented, and the 
result distributed.

For the Python 2.1 batch, late rants seem excusable, since the process 
is new.

That said,
from __future__ import nested_scopes
works fine for me.

Which is just as well, because it means I can contentedly move on.

  -----
Those who "do" PEPs will have noted a loud silence from me.  That means 
three things:

1.  I'm lazy (but you knew that already)

2.  I trust you and Guido to do the right thing, mostly.  And I can deal 
with the exceptions to that "mostly".

3.  I still have to come to grips with SourceForge.
