I don't think that it is possible to write an interpreter that is fully
compatible for all it accepts. Would you think that the program
print(repr(2**80).endswith("L"))
is in the subset that should be supported by both Python 2 and Python 3?
Notice that it prints "True" in Python 2 and "False" in Python 3. So if
this common-version interpreter *rejects* the above program, which
operation (**, repr, endswith) would you want to ban from subset?
