It also will confuse people when we ever hit python 3 (see 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/Python3_2e0).
We'll have a "with" (or similar keyword) that will work like this:

with self:
     .property1 = True
     .init()

"with" and "using" are way too similar, although they would be doing 
*completely* different things.  This would also rule out other proposed 
generic keywords like: by, having, per, via, extend (extend means 
subclassing in most other languages)...
but would leave as still suitable keywords like: meta, decorate, or 
predef (although predef is as meaningless to a python beginner as "def" is).
