[Python-ideas] Warning on conditionals

And I must say, even in Java and Javascript, the libraries with APIs people
love often are the ones who use heavy method-chaining, like Guava and
JQuery and Underscore. Other than the fact that the method names are
alphanumeric instead of symbolic, method chaining is basically infix
notation too.
