+Pronouncement
+
+ This PEP is rejected. There were a number of fixable issues with
+ the proposal (see the fixups listed in Raymond Hettinger's
+ python-dev post on 18 June 2005). However, even with the fixups the
+ proposal did not garner support. Specifically, Guido did not buy
+ the premise that the range() format needed fixing, "The whole point
+ (15 years ago) of range() was to *avoid* needing syntax to specify a
+ loop over numbers. I think it's worked out well and there's nothing
+ that needs to be fixed (except range() needs to become an interator,
+ which it will in Python 3.0)."
