This is an extremely good point. It is mentioned when new syntax is proposed (the term often used is "discoverability") but the idea never seems to stick, as people keep forgetting to consider it when proposing new ideas. With this proposal the only thing you can search for is "def", and you're going to mostly find sites that explain the current syntax. So anyone looking for understanding of the new construct will likely end up even more confused after searching than they were before. Markus - if you do write up a PEP, please make sure this point is noted and addressed.
