Guido> What code would break if we loosened this restriction? 

I don't know how much, but I do know I've relied on this behavior before. (In fact, I've asked about it before.) I guess the counter question to yours would be, "What would be gained by loosening this restriction"? If the answer is, "not much", then I don't see why this is even an idle thought.
