Re: PEP 505 (None-aware operators) for Python 3.11

Hi Maarten,
I'm sorry for the confusion - it was bad wording on my part.
What I really meant was that the problem with the None-aware operator, and
the reason why PEP505 has not been accepted for such a long time, is that
there's no consensus regarding the need for it (and not necessarily the
problem with the operator used to represent it - although this topic has
also been raised).

Take a look at the response by Steve Dower:

Best regards,
Piotr
