Please let me know what you think.
Suite-Based Keyword Arguments
-----------------------------
Passing complicated arguments to functions is currently awkward in
Python. For example, the typical way to define a class property winds up
polluting the class's namespace with the property's get/set methods. By
allowing keyword arguments to be defined in a suite following a function
call, complicated arguments can be passed in a cleaner, easier way.
Examples
========
Using suite-based keyword arguments, the code
f(x = 1)
is equivalent to
f():
x = 1
ISTM the syntax is ambiguous. How do you interpret
if f():
x = 1
?
Is a suite alllowed only when a block could not be introduced in the current
syntax?
