I want to jump into this debate, but have stayed out of it so far and just don't have time for it. But I can't let this one pass!

... Perhsps the difficulty in pickling an acceptable syntax should be taken as a warning sign that there's a problem with the feature.

There is, in fact, no such difficulty with any of these syntaxes: I've tried pickling all of them, under both pickle.py and cPickle, and they both pickle and unpickle fine. I think this has to do with that they're really all just strings .
