I think you're underestimating the extent to which the fact that "y" isn't a real expression will cause confusion. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
