One more thing, I would like to point out that along
the traditional "don't report bugs in public forums",
it's a little goofy of me to post 'terp "reviews" that
are mostly lists of UI gripes.

But, since they are UI gripes more than they are bugs, it
seemed better to open them up to public discussion, since
I can't be certain that they are "objectively" flaws.
And I was careful to assign the interpreter I currently
seem to be maintaining its fair share of bugs, but...

In case it's not clear, bravo to all you 'terp authors
and maintainers, all your hard work is appreciated;
this is just a list of small things that are, I think,
disproportionately annoying and hence worth fixing.
