Yeah, I think it's a concept with many, many more downsides than upsides. A 
"given" or "where" clause based solution would be far easier to read:

   x.get = f given:
       def f(): pass

A given clause has its own problems though (the out-of-order execution it 
involves being the one which seems to raise the most hackles).

Cheers,
Nick.
