A friend sent along some info to me, so I don't have links.  But, from
what I know, print will not be a statement.  print() is now a function
-- which will probably break a lot of code :-)  There are lots of
other changes in unicode to support it properly.  There are many
architectural changes that will probably break old code too.  And
perhaps we will see better threading/multiprocessing support...
