Where are we up to with this PR? Can we merge it? Let's do so if there's no further feedback in ~a week.

This is looking pretty good to me! A few thoughts after another read-through.

@hugovk not sure if the protocol here is for me as sponsor to just merge, or to get another once-over from a PEP editor? I'm happy for this to go in. |

It's fine to just merge it! If you don't mind I'll read through it too though. |
