[Python-ideas] Method signature syntactic sugar (especially for dunder methods)

[Nick Timkovich]

Also you can support future changes to the syntax (e.g. __matmul__ and
friends from 3.5, __aiter__ from 3.5.2) with a single codebase rather than
having to push that grammar back to previous versions (impossible?) or have
the grammar for magic methods be extraordinarily general (messy?)
