I replied to this in a separate post, but html() is likely a function name that is used in millions of existing code bases.

And if this has to be explicitly configured in an editor very few will use it. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/SRGLKEP7P4LSP4R3KOQW34IV35NGDSYS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
