You can blame me for that :-).

d bools. Many functions accept
generalized bools, not strictly bools, and it'd be very nice to be able to
explicitly _denote_ that in a standard way.

ble sooner than 3.0, so that we can use them
earlier? Obviously people can create their own such function, but having a
STANDARD name for it would mean that 2to3 could easily automate that
translation. Plus, it'd help people get used to the idea of a printing
_function_.

; once you get that ONE operator right,
ALL comparisons are right. I think the python 2 way is better: individual
operations for the cases where you want to handle each case specially, and a
single __cmp__ function that is a simple way to handle comparisons all at once.

would be nice too.
Also... will the 2to3 tool support this? What I mean is, if 2to3 sees "from
__future__ import print_function", will it leave print function calls alone?
If not, could that be changed?
Thanks.

GOOD thing, not a wart or obsolete feature.
Adding a standard comparison mixin in a library is probably a good idea as
well, but restoring __cmp__ is in my mind more important. I can write my own
mixin, but working around a failure to call __cmp__ gives a big performance hit.

I ran it 3 times,
and took the min of each. Using the min() of each number, we have a mixin
performance overhead of (10.91-7.26)/7.26 = 50.3%

hod in the 3.0 age."
It _seems_ to me that this is the same as "__cmp__", and if so, let's just keep
using the same name (there's nothing wrong with the name!). But maybe I just
don't understand the comment, so explanation welcome.
