[...some stuff snipped...] Yes, but if you're an optimist, those years mean we're closer to the magic moment ;-) [...some stuff snipped...] Please stop. Discuss it elsewhere. I suggest not CC'ing Guido in that discussion, either, at least not if you want the proposals to still have a chance. Also don't CC me, please, although it's not as hazardous as pissing off Guido ;) Well, he presented a technical problem (indentation for lambda suites), and my main point was to address it with a suggestion he may not have seen (or why wouldn't he have mentioned it at least as a dumb failing attempt at solving the problem he was discussing?)

IMHO it does solve the problem (modulo stupidities that I am prepared to have my nose rubbed in if I missed something) and was on topic.

If a solution to a problem that Guido presents as an obstacle pisses him off, I'd be surprised, and disappointed.

Make-the-hurting-stop-ly y'rs, I'm sorry you're hurting. That was not my intent ;-/

BTW, I never CC anyone unless they have asked me to. Unless gmane is doing it automatically, it shouldn't be happening.
