I think the idea is to warn Python developers that they should test
their code with future versions if they use this feature.
Normally we try to maintain compatibility, even when we've made mistakes.
But in this case, we suspect we may make changes and we don't want to
promise compatibility; but nor do we want to block this feature until
the symbol tables are changed, since that may not happen for some time.

I'm not totally wedded to this. Maybe Doug could say more.
