Cool thing is that now that 'print' isn't a keyword, you can actually
write that as:

from cleverness import print

and put whatever functionality you like into cleverness.py. The only
thing you *can't* do that way is mess with syntax - and if you want to
prototype a change to syntax, you can play with MacroPy. So you can
actually publish something and ask people to try using it.
