But it could theoretically happen if Neal wants it so badly that he raises

minute job. Simples :)
It's even worse than that, because adding 'nonlocal' is not a bugfix.
So to be committed to the repo, it has to be approved for either 2.7
branch (which is in bugfix-only maintenance mode) or 2.8 branch (which
does not exist). Good luck. :)

Then target the 2.8 fork that will take place if there's no agreement
over PEP 460. Still a five minute job, still simples :)
