We (PythonLabs) were wondering whether to reserve any more keywords for 2.2.
"then" was a natural candidate, for this specific use.  Guido and I have
been playing with it.  If it proves to be a low-hassle, low-impact change
that works well, the intent is to get it in for 2.2b1 later this week.
Doesn't look *likely* to me at this point, but don't know.
