Thanks, Andrew, you're able to explain this much better than I do.
Just wanted to add that Python *already* has ways to grossly abuse
its syntax and create unreadable code. For example, I can write

    >>> о = 3
    >>> o = 5
    >>> ο = 6
    >>> (о, o, ο)
    (3, 5, 6)

But just because some feature CAN get abused, doesn't mean it 
ACTUALLY gets abused in practice. People want to write nice, readable
code, because they will ultimately be the ones to support it.
