and then Barry said:

Just to try and kill this thread before it gets a full head of steam, please
note that my original message was sent to François on 16 September 1999
(yes, almost a year ago).

Obviously, had I been more strident in singing the praises of t-strings,
we'd have 'em in Python 2.0. ;-)

That said, I think we can safely kill this thread...
