I'm mildly opposed to the bool PEP but it's not that big a deal for
me.  I'm more unhappy with the process that results in adding
something like that to a minor version (2.3).  If it was saved for
3.0, I think that would make more sense, for reasons I've explained.
There are other features that I would LIKE to see added, like
assignments in expressions; but those, too, shouldn't first appear
in a minor release.
