In English, "We should like" is far from an absolute statement. "IDLE must" would be such. In any case, I hope you agree that crashing is bad. It is also not good if IDLE, as a development environment, enables code that violates the doc specifications and that will not run in the standard interpreter in standard batch mode with no shell. I also so not understand you reverting the title to the arguably incorrect non-parallel construction.
