Now go acquaint yourself with the syntactical abomination
otherwise known as Type-hints, and you will understand that
all of the aforementioned "zens" are forgotten parts of
GvR's old testament. Design guidelines born of the ideals
enshrined in a governmental contract baiting scheme slickly
marketed as "cp4e" -- which were originally encoded on punch
cards and passed to Tim Peters during secret ceremony atop
the roof of CNRI building in Reston, Virgina, on the night
of the winter solstice. Now-a-days, Python's design
philosophy is less concerned with readability and focuses
itself primarily with corporate knob-gobbling.
