I was emailing someone today about implementing something (for PEP 471, as it happens) and wanted to link to the Zen of Python [1] and note a particular clause (in this case "If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea."). However, there are no clause numbers, so you can't refer to specific phrases.
I know it's a short enough document that it probably doesn't matter. And maybe numbering them would make it less Zen. Would be handy in code reviews and the like, for example: "Not very Pythonic. See PEP 20 point 5." Is it just my pedantic self, or have others wanted to do this too?
