Readability counts :-) Are you saying there's no need to bother documenting
stuff ??? ;-)

What breakage are we really talking about? Remember, Python 2.x will not change
in this area - the proposed change is for Python 3.3 and later only, and will
not be backported :-)

As far as I know, Trac doesn't work with Python 3 anyway. Most of the code out
there (which Mark found via Google Code Search) is Python 2.x. When porting from
2 to 3.3, it's just one extra little thing to deal with - small compared with
other issues which come up when doing such ports.
