Gary,

I'm glad you like my PEP.  In general, many other people have found the
objects to be a useful addition.  Seemingly the only stalling point is
where the Max/Min values are going to be placed, and what they should be
called.  If you feel like looking at a listing of the possible locations
and names, check the previous version in cvs:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/python/python/nondist/peps/pep-0326.txt?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.2

The listing was removed in the latest version because it detracted from
the specific functionality, which is more important than location.  If
you feel like posting your exact use for the Max/Min value, that would
be great.

 - Josiah
