Fixings a lot of the WTFs requires breaking backwards compatibility.

Given how long it took to transition to Python 3 and how painful the transition was, I'm not sure people will have the appetite or patience for this anytime soon.

A lot of them worked that way or similar in Python 2 and basically they are not a bugs, but optimization or just language design decision.
