Alternate forms and syntaxes increase the possibility of one programmer
knowing one subset ("dialect") of the language and another knowing
another subset/dialect.

Still, there are no unbreakable rules in Python development and I
bet many programmers are unaware of complex as it is. I would vote for
an "i" in Py3K.
