Phillip, May I suggest that you write this up as a PEP? Being dead in the water isn't always fatal. Right now you're ideas are still very fuzzy and by forcing yourself to come up with a narrative, semantics section, minimal implementation, and examples, you will go along way to both refining your idea and also allowing others to better understand what you're proposing.
