Neither of the authors of these PEPs are currently actively
championing them, and offering dedicated constructs for
working with partially structured hierarchical data is
still a relatively novel programming language design concept
in general.
Since there's no harm in waiting for more feedback and ideas,
deferring them for potential future consideration seems like a
good option for now.
- Language level inconsistencies eliminated by proposing both
`if` and `else` as circuit-breaking operators
- PEP 532 no longer competes with PEP 505 at all
- Rich comparison chaining split out as PEP 535
- Mark E. Haase is now listed as a co-author (as I was better
able to integrate some of his earlier suggestions)
- acknowledged key feedback on the initial draft
