[Python-ideas] parser in stdlib

[Aaron Brady]

Is it possible to get `profile' into the stdlib?  Currently just tinkering,
and it might not be advisable either, subject to abuse, per GvR:

 

"Programmable syntax is not in Python's

future -- or at least it's not for Python 3000. The problem IMO is

that everybody will abuse it to define their own language. And the

problem with that is that it will fracture the Python community

because nobody can read each other's code any more."

What do you think?  Same reason apply?
