I took the pain to work out a draft proposal that hopefully meets Guido's
requirements. The draft proposal is posted in a separate thread.
It is also available per AFTP:
ftp://ftp.ubilab.ubs.ch/pub/python/python-syntax-proposal-dc.txt
Please do not hesitate to e-mail me if you have any comments,
critique or anything interesting in that context.
To get a feeling for the new grammar, I also wrote a grammar for
yacc and lex. The files are available per AFTP:
