QOTW: "People who are smart and care about correctness -- the
'reality-based community' -- often don't realise just how many
decisions are made on the basis of unfacts ..." - Steven D'Aprano

The same post further reports on aspects of a couple of the few
issues truly significant for Python's long term: rationalization
of the AST, profiling at the level of Python source, an unsolved
problem in memory-management of a multiply-inheriting type, style
in maintenance of ports, and blemishes in StringIO.
