    	For years now Python has not supported variable-length lookbehinds.  
I'm just curious whether there are any plans to change this in Python 
3.0, or before, or after.  It seems that Perl 6 will allow variable-
width lookbehinds (see http://dev.perl.org/perl6/doc/design/apo/A05.html 
and http://dev.perl.org/perl6/rfc/72.html ).
