And In case it's not clear why I said that, btw: It's not mere pedantry. By restating your proposal in those terms, you make it far broader than a simple textual transformation. Imagine if you'd said it like this: "Okay, let's be pedantic. As well as my other proposals, I'm also requiring that you be able to use 'a+b' as a variable name." That is most definitely not a simple proposal. And that means it should be discussed as a much much broader change: disconnecting keyword arguments from variable names. That should NOT just slide through as part of a separate change.
