OK, thanks for the additional context - I didn't know that. However, I
still suggest finding the relevant discussion on the NumPy lists and
contributing there would be a better way to go, rather than getting
Nathaniel to track the discussion in two places at once.

We'll get another go around here and on python-dev after the PEP has
been updated with answers to Guido's questions :)

Regards,
Nick.
