Thank you for taking the time to write this up, Nick.

However, I am -1 on it.  One of the allures of Python 3 is the increase in simplicity and elegance.  Restoring cruft 
does not help with that.  Python 2 idioms that get restored to Python 3 must have real value: unicode literals, 
wire-protocol interpolations -- I don't feel that this comes any where close to meeting that bar.
