Thanks for any comments on this (and please :), don't yell at me for asking for a new keyword to achieve something minor, I already understood that part).
I try not to do that - the judgement calls we have to make in designing the language don't always have obvious solutions, and part of the reason python-ideas exists is as a place for people to share ideas that turn out to be questionable, for the sake of uncovering those ideas that turn out to be worthwhile. I've had several proposals make their way into Python over the years, but they're still outnumbered by the ones which didn't make it (many because I decided not to propose them in the first place, but quite a few others because people on python-ideas and python-dev pointed out flaws, drawbacks and inconsistencies that I had missed).
