The specific issues I've run into so far:

* Exception-catching syntax (i.e. ``except Whatever as e`` vs.
``except Whatever, e``).
* Unicode literals (u'...').

Those are the show-stoppers (for me -- maybe I'm just missing
something?), but I'm actually more worried about the subtle
differences between str/unicode and bytes/str... I suspect there'll be
many subtle bugs there. Ditto anything using io, really, because the
new io library isn't in any way the same as the old one (in a good way
:)

I'm also just worried about the uglyness of code needed to maintain
something like this. Like about all the ImportErrors we'll have to
catch once all the stdlib reorg happens...
