Nice joking. Still, yet, and nevertheless, I think making the PEP closer to the truth might make it stronger. It might also repair a bit the feeling that the PEP process is sometimes mildly lacking (the @-PEP having been ratehr publicised as an example of this, recently).

Um, PEP 318 has nothing to do with this, and I think the PEP 292 process has been fairly accurate, disagreements about interface notwithstanding. Maybe $'s make sense for Python 3000, but that was never my goal, explicit or subversive, for PEP 292.
