Well, it would be a problem if the semantics need to get hairy to
support the syntax. To continue quoting from Tim, "If the
implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea."
So I think I would prefer to only handle built-in integer types for now.
I guess the PEP should state that more explicitly?
Thanks for your other comments, I'll keep them in mind.
