I know there's currently an AST branch of Python, containing
widely-spread changes throughout the core Python code.  What the goal
of these changes are, though, I don't know.  Google tells me the
changes are still pre-alpha, which is why they still haven't been
merged into CVS HEAD.

Maybe it's relevant, I don't know...
