- change the language ref that talks about this to state that although Python currently doesn't use these symbols, this is not stopping a future version of Python from using them for some new feature.

Does that really have to be stated? Isn't this just giving in to the silly lawyers? A reference manual describes the status quo. How can it possibly begin to describe future directions? (Except when reserving certain classes of identifiers like C does.)
