Or the proposal would have to be that 'self' is mandatory for all

pernicious. People are now free to write the more compact 's.sum =
s.a + s.b + s.c' if they want instead of the 'self' version. And
again, not everyone writes in English.
Of course, "self" would have to become a reserved word. You could
say that this may break some code,
Will break.
but I don't see much freedom removed from the language.

But you can write 'for ubermenchen in range(10):' and in 3.0, with
diacritics added. Would you really feel no loss of freedom if Guido
make i0, i1, ... into keywords, which means they could not be used
elsewhere, and mandated them as for loop index variables?
