Thanks, John.  This is a valuable suggestion because it points in a
direction that doesn't require the assent (or participation) of the wider
Python community.  As I just said in my reply to Martin, I am pretty dubious
about the whole idea.  I suspect though, that if the idea ever goes anywhere
something like what you suggest will be the way to go.  I'll keep this
suggestion in the back of my mind...

Thanks again.

Edward
