Is the thread in c.l.py on conditional expressions leading in the direction of actually getting added to the language, or wer Tim's experiments done just to show it's possible?

We (PythonLabs) were wondering whether to reserve any more keywords for 2.2. "then" was a natural candidate, for this specific use. Guido and I have been playing with it. If it proves to be a low-hassle, low-impact change that works well, the intent is to get it in for 2.2b1 later this week. Doesn't look likely to me at this point, but don't know.
