Front-up tagging might make it more palatable but IMHO it would be a
serious mistake.
I still shudder when I think of C++'s `virtual` (although it's been a
looong time since I stopped using C++ [thanks, Guido!] :-)
PS: I didn't have time to really study Phillip's PEP but I've followed
the GF saga over the months and I'd be very happy if GF's were
promoted to be a core feature of Python!
