Ideally without making them longer. Making it longer is unavoidable, I think, since the issue as I see it is the context is missing. So I hope you'll be convinced to add that context to the package description. Adding a paragraph like the above one about “the root goal” would be an excellent start. -- \ “Why doesn't Python warn that it's not 100% perfect?
