And because it looks like the illegitimate child of a scabby old Pascal keyword, it'll make people look twice. I'm only being half facetious. Another half-facetious (maybe quarter) argument in its favor is that, even though it's short(-ish), it's rare. Any future Google search for "python nonlocal" will find hundreds of relevant documents. Heck, the first seven hits for that *right now* are on subject. This one's starting to grow on me... sort of like a cheese mold, but it's growing nonetheless.
