Put me down for a strong -1. The proposal would occasionally save a few
keystokes but comes at the expense of giving Python a more Perlish look and a
more arcane feel.
One of the things I like about Python is that I can walk non-programmers
through the code and explain what it does. The examples in PEP 505 look like a
step in the wrong direction. They don't "look like Python" and make me feel
like I have to decrypt the code to figure-out what it does.
