Is anyone proposing doing anything new with that? (other than changing the
default)

My preferred solution for this is to rename "py.exe" to "python.exe"


I was going to propose that in this thread, but then thought: "there has
GOT to be a reason why that reall obvious solution wan't done in the first
place", and didn't have time to go back and research it.

But if it's feasible from a technical and backward-compatible perspective,
great!
