A bottom line / pragmatic question... hopefully not a FAQ.
Why was it necessary to make "as" a reserved keyword?

Because it can be used at the import statement to let the imported thing
be known under another name?
Something like:
>>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
Martin, that doesn't answer the OP's question *at all*. Python 2.5 uses
"as" in that way, and it is not a keyword.
Yes Steven, I realized after the apple fell on my head that I was
barking at the wrong tree, in a totally different forest, sorry for the
noise.
