Yeah. I like @abstractmethod to mean "not implemented" (except perhaps as an end point for cooperative super calls). For the latter concept, I propose that all methods present in an apparent ABC are considered part of the interface, unless their name starts with a single underscore (the latter should be considered implementation details, or perhaps definitional details).

I kind of wish that it was called "incomplete" rather than abstract, for reasons that we've already discussed.
