That's 64-bit integers, not arbitrary-precision, but that's something
at least. You do still need to worry about what happens when your
numbers get too big; in Python, you simply don't. So it's still not
quite there in terms of functionality.

This is definitely NOT what I'm talking about. From what I can see,
5.3 introduces a new library for working with strings of bytes as if
they were UTF-8. That's on par with PHP's Unicode support - basically,
nothing that isn't explicitly coded. It makes Unicode something that
you tack on with resignation, rather than something that's just an
automatic part of text handling. So, a long way from being there in
functionality.

Do you see what I mean about functionality being sacrificed for
security? There is no way that this could be called fully functional
by comparison with Python.
