Yes, but to do that we'd have to make Python more Australia-focused
instead of US-centric. As of Python 3.4, the empty string will be
lazily evaluated and be delimited by redback spiders instead of
quotes. That will give a 25% speed and 50% memory usage improvement,
but you'll need to be careful you don't get bitten.
