This involves changing the python language. IMO a better proposal would
be to implement it in Python, perhaps using the syntax:

   i("x is `x`, f(x) is `f(x)`")

That way, it'll not be part of the language, and anyone who doesn't want
the feature will simply not import the relevent module.

If you want this sort of thing, you can always use Perl.
