Since the sole purpose of your proposal is saving 6 keystrokes I don't
think it's a useful one. I do also lot of times the construct you
mention but it doesn't bother me that I have to type the extra 6
keystrokes. In general, if the sole purpose of a proposal is saving a
couple of keystrokes and nothing else in terms of readability,
maintainability, expressiveness, etc, then I think the proposal is
doomed to fail and rightly so.

Cheers,
Daniel
