One of the essential appeals of Python is its small number of forms. This small
number of forms ensures that new Python programmers are more likely to be
able to read code written by experienced Python programmers.

There's a thousand people who have "it would be nice" recommendations for
new Python forms. This, however, is unPythonic. Try another language. Or get
the Python source and add all the forms you want. You might call it:

"PythonWithExtraStuffToMakeItHarderToLearn".
