1. Don't top post.

2. Your so-called PEP probably clashes with Python's use of @ for
	decorators.

3. Do you really expect a language holding the mantra that there should be
	a single way of doing things to embrace a language bloating feature
	for what is effectively already possible with the language as it
	exists?
