We just had a long thread about this.

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2010-June/007476.html

The sentiment was about -0 to -0.5 on the idea in general, although a
couple of people with experience in implementing Python syntax
expressed sympathy for it.

There have also been threads on earlier variations of the idea,
referenced in the thread above.
