No, that's not Terry having a bad day and taking it out on you. That's
you making a vague proposal with dubious justification, and Terry
coming back to you asking for clarification.

As he says, you need to propose new features by saying what they'd do,
how they'd do it, and why they should be implemented. Ignore Python's
history here, just look at where the language currently is and where
you're suggesting it go.
