I was worried someone might not realize I was being sarcastic,
which is why I threw in this obvious impossibility

If different users expect different - mostly incompatible - things, how would it be possible to have it working "the way the user expect" ?

but I guess it wasn't enough.

Obviously not - at least for me. OTHO, I've seen peoples very seriously asking for such obvious impossibilities.

Should Python grow some telepathic features to guess the user's expectations and modifies itself to meet these expectations ?-)
