I'd suggest it's actually a proposal for a language that *isn't
Python*. There's no way an idea like this would ever be accepted into
Python itself without real world experimentation in another context.
It's going to be hard to get anyone interested enough to seriously try
it out, but I'd suggest going the "Python-based language" route (ala
Boo and Cython) rather than claiming the idea is Python as such.

Cheers,
Nick.
