No, I'm not. You don't have to like their design goals, but to lack
respect for their success in achieving the ones they've chosen ...
well, go ahead, laugh at the Tao. That's what it's there for, says
so right on the label.
As for the particular proposal of Stefan's, it *is* very Pythonic.
(It's duck typing for sequences.) It's not particularly Emacs-Lisp-y,
what with aref and nth that do the same thing but to different types
of sequences, etc., and the dozen or more ways of implementing
dictionaries, all having distinct APIs for accessing properties by
keyword.
