I'm -0 on the idea, they're very rarely overloaded in C++ as well, since there are only few really valid use cases. In fact, the only example I saw till now where those of constructing meta-languages using Python's syntax, which is something that Python has never really encouraged (see the metaprogramming syntax which is now officially vetoed). But I'm not -1 because I assume that (just like unicode identifiers) they will not be abused by the community, and they probably do help some very rare and uncommon use cases where they are really required. -- Giovanni Bajo _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
