Never will, either -- even Roman numeral literals are more Pythonic
than this one.
More Pythonic: make integers callable: i(arglist) returns the i'th
argument. So, e.g., people who find it inconvenient to index a list
like this:
x[i]
could index it like this instead:
i(*x)
Punchline: I didn't make this up -- that's how integers work in Icon! Kinda.
y := 2
y(x, y, z) := 3
also works to bind `y` to 3. Python is falling _way_ behind <wink>.
