If it's done with syntax, it can have special behaviour. If it looks like a function call (or class constructor), it doesn't look like it has special behaviour.
This has been mentioned before, but I'll say it again: It doesn't need to be syntax in the sense of non-ascii characters, it could be a (soft) keyword: def process_files(processor, files=deferred os.listdir(DEFAULT_DIR)): I'm -1 on the proposal, for reasons I'll eventually write up, but if it has to exist, I'd prefer a keyword of some sort.
