No, Paul, nobody will complain if you *ask* ...

A question I've been asking myself quite a lot recently is how the PSF
could, were funding to be available, direct the development of Python in
specific directions, and what those directions should be. Unfortunately
there are probably as many answers as Python programmers in terms of the
priorities to be adopted.
