I think we should be willing to entertain breaking feature freeze for getting this in Python 3.4. Maybe you could revert 3.4 to alpha status and give it a cycle or two there to get this done before returning to beta status. Skip

When I first saw the suggestion from Georg I had visions of men in white coats gragging him off :) Having giving the idea more thought I think there's any opportunity here and now to make a very profound long term impact for Python 3. Skip's idea seems to me a clean way to do this. Short term pain, long term gain?
