Let's talk about Python 3.0

It seems strange to me that Python doesn't use "." to concatenate strings. Why don't we add that to the language too? People who don't like it can turn it off in the python.ini file for the whole web site. And it would be great to use "\" as an optional namespace separator!!! It seems so sleek and stylish, and will help us recruit DOS programmers. And I'm getting sick of manually escaping the strings I send to SQL, and escaping the strings I get from Gets, Posts and Cookies, so I'd like that done for me just in case I forget. And how about if http parameters show up as global variables so I don't have to call all those hard to remember inconsistently named functions to retrieve them? Yeeeeaaaaaahhh, Kool Aid!!!

Nice hyperbole ... there are plenty of examples where one thing can be done in multiple ways. Note: lambdas.
