Okay. I'll put a slightly different position: Prove that your proposal
is worth discussing by actually giving us an example that we can
discuss. So far, this thread has had nothing but toy examples (and
bogoexamples that prove nothing beyond that the author knows how to
mess with Python - fun, but not a strong argument on either side).
Give us some real meat to work with, instead of these drips of
tantalizing blood.
