Interesting idea indeed, I'm afraid i've not enough time to comment on this
now though. Should I forget about it, you can recall me of your comments in a
week when I'll be back online. Even if it sounds like dropping support for
py2.1 (not sure however), it seems bright enough to be worth the
investigation ;)

   py2.1 by now]

Still did not find the time or energy :) to look at the reference, but I
