I suppose that what Greg Ewing suggests is a way to define a sort of
custom simple statement.
For example, instead of the old
print "Hello"
and the "new"
print("Hello")
you could write
@print
"Hello"
What would this print?
@print
1, 2, 3
Would we also want to do this?
@print()
1, 2, 3
How about this?
@print(sep="\n")
1, 2, 3
