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
