The moratorium does not stop proposals for things to be added after the 
moratorium ends. But it does show that Guido and the devs are reluctant 
to make *any* change to the core syntax of 3.x without really good 
reason. Absent that, I would not mind if the syntax remains frozen for 
the rest of 3.x. A minor abbreviation that makes the language look more 
like Perl will not cut it.
