Google's smarter than that. I've searched for symbols before and found plenty of good results. For instance, I can search for information about the @ sign before a function, or independently, for a @ b, and get information about decorators or matrix multiplication. We don't need words - especially not words that will break people's code - in order for people to find information. > Furthermore, the concept is even more general than parameter definition of > functions and methods.

It is not a complete replacement for default expressions. Notably, it can't refer to anything in the caller's context, without breaking a lot of things about Python's namespacing model.
