[Python-ideas] What about allowing '?' in method names?

this could be nicer than prefixing things with is, and makes things clearer
in some cases, e.g.

def shouldSomethingHappenFlag(self, context):
   if 'relevant' in context:
     return True

   return False

vs

def shouldSomethingHappen?(self, context):
  if 'relevant' in context:
    return True
  return False

I just think it looks nicer, and is a good hint that a true/false or other
kind of flag is likely to come back.

Cheers,
