But now: who is going to write it? "Guido should write it" clearly won't work. And no, I'm explicitly not volunteering either.

Well, the PEP will be mostly boilerplate anyway (unless there's a sudden influx of old ideas) so I'm sure I can whip something up before next weekend. I'll probably keep the actual list of rejected items to implicit self (which started the whole discussion), upgrading the Python parser beyond a simple LL(1), and maybe implicit ()'s for functioncalls, if I feel inspired. The exact wording, and additional rejects, can be discussed at length by those interested.

I'll help with this. That means I want to and intend to, and will discover that I can't actually make any time for it. With two of us putting it off indefinitely, it should get done in half the time ;-).
