And as of a few months ago, he still doesn't know anything about
it (at a conference in SF). I recommended that he look into it
for Py3K ideas, as have others. The ideas floated about Py3K (the

single-dispatch version of Dylan without the macros, and without
the - character allowed in identifiers. The world will eventually
re-invent Dylan, poorly.
