I don't think PEP 397 can be accepted as it stands; it has too many
open issues. However, I am in favor of accepting the proposed feature.
Now that we do have the PEP, I think that should be done properly.
I thought you offered to rewrite it. Formally, I could accept the
PEP being withdrawn, and the feature integrated anyway, but I still
consider that bad style.
So: I can offer to rewrite the PEP to give a full specification
of the feature. It might be that I still need some help to
provide end-user prose in the PEP if people would want to see that as
well.

Martin
