And my point being: it's simple enough to give a general recipe (which my 
example was) without extending Python's syntax, so why extend the syntax and 
not just use a solution derived from that recipe that's working now (and is 
backwards compatible at least to 2.3), and which is also clear in itself?

I'm not saying that your syntax looks "strange" or "bad", but there are means 
to do what you want to do now, without cumbersome syntax or duplicating code, 
and as such I'm -1 on syntactic sugar (TOWTDI and all)...

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think introducing syntax is the wrong 
solution to a non-existant problem with the language.
