A syntax idea for one-liners

In order to convince me that your proposal works, you will have to tell me
how to distinguish your proposed syntax from cases already permitted by
the Python syntax in which a : is followed by a statement on the same line.

For example, the following is legal in Python today:

        if x < y: x = y

I am not convinced that your proposal is always unambiguous in all contexts
that involve statements such as the one above.
