The problem is that it's a slippery slope. I think Paul Dubois once
proposed this too, but not much came of it. Once you can write
foo(1:10), why not x = (1:10); and then why not x = 1:10. But you
can't have "if x == 1:10: ..." because the first colon would be
ambiguous. So you'd end up with even m
I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.
One of the things that is really nice about slice syntax is the ability
to construct slice objects to pass to __getitem__ using []
Would it be possible to extend the syntax so that slice syntax is
acceptable in more places in Python? In particular
