nonlocal in Python 2.6

I always wondered about the decision to omit the nonlocal statement
from the Python 2.X series because it seems to be orthogonal to Python
2.5. Are there any chances for it to be back ported?

The only reason it was not backported was that either no one provided a patch or
it never got reviewed and applied.
