The only use for such a syntax would be to put
an inadvisable amount of stuff on one line.

When describing a procedural series of steps,
the Pythonic style encourages putting each step
on its own line. Other areas of the language also
nudge one in this direction, e.g. the fact that
mutating operations usually return None, which
discourages chaining them together into a single
expression.
