I guess "abandoned" is the appropriate term.  There were problems raised
with how this would work on Windows and I lost interest.  (The current
scheme works pretty well for me.  I wrote PEP 304 more for pedantic reasons
and to address other peoples' concerns.)  It shouldn't be hard to resurrect
if there are some folks with Windows experience willing to help solve those
problems.

Ideally, the patch, when complete, should just be a single patch.
