Well, let's not try to impose anybody's definition of what "pythonic"
means to any group of people, like future Pythonistas coming from the
Cocoa camp.

In fact, I still haven't found a good definition of what it means to
be "pythonic"... which is maybe good, because many great things lack
a good, satisfactory definition.

Saying something is pythonic, because it was in Python 0.x is probably
not enough as we can see with Booleans, say, which were doomed to be
evil until Python 2.2, or so.
