[Stackless] Policy for taking patches from 2.4?

[Bob Ippolito]

There are some potential Python 2.4 features that I *really want to 
have*.  Would it be reasonable for me to merge them into the Stackless 
2.3.3 branch on a case by case basis, or should I maintain my own 
version of stackless off-cvs?

Specifically, my life would be much improved if I had the extended def 
syntax patch, that allows:

def foo(args) [decorators, appliedto, thefunction]:
     pass

which is equivalent to the current
def foo(args):
     pass
foo = thefunction(appliedto(decorators(foo)))

Imagine foo being 
really_really_really_really_really_really_really_really_really_long_ 
and having to type it three times on a regular basis.  It really screws 
up readability.
