I'm currently reconsidering that, and I'm still not sure. We could simply
enable all __future__ features by default that the runtime environment enables
(and that we support in Cython, obviously). That's a straight forward thing to
do and it wouldn't be any different from the portability of Python code...

What do the others think?
