I think this idea (or variants thereof) has been suggested a few times 
over the years, and I don't think the arguments against it have ever 
been particularly compelling. The difference this time is that PEP 3132 
has done the work of thrashing out some of the semantic details, and 
Thomas has provided an actual working patch to make it happen :)

So +1 here, even though I expect style guides will end up discouraging 
some of the more obscure possible uses.

Cheers,
Nick.
