Well -- sometimes you have to use many, many types of scissors. > I think you are bundling quite different things together here.

You are right. One is syntax issue, and the second is language implementation issue.

But you can't go beyond what programmers need. If you do so, then you will have to implement tricks as __id. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
