While reviewing PEPs, I stumbled over PEP 335 ( Overloadable Boolean Operators) by Greg Ewing. I am of two minds of this -- on the one hand, it's been a long time without any working code or anything. OTOH it might be quite useful to e.g. numpy folks.

It is time to reject it due to lack of interest, or revive it!

Last call for discussion! I'm tempted to reject this -- the ability to generate optimized code based on the shortcut semantics of and/or is pretty important to me.
