what's so inconsistent here? IMHO, the only reason Python programmers ask
for more language features is because Python is not already
feature-saturated like Perl. Perlers have a mammoth gorilla of a language
to contend with: everyone has already requested features, and they've
all gotten accepted (IMHO that's perl's problem; *all* the
proposals were accepted, even if they overlapped -- remember, there's more than one
way to do it! :-P)
Rehashing stuff I couldn't pass up to include:
couldn't interfaces be implemented as mixin classes?

gxis la revido!
I hope I got that right :-)
