Thank you for taking the time to write this up, Nick.
However, I am -1 on it. One of the allures of Python 3 is the increase in simplicity and elegance. Restoring cruft does not help with that. Python 2 idioms that get restored to Python 3 must have real value: unicode literals, wire-protocol interpolations -- I don't feel that this comes any where close to meeting that bar.
