It's not very hard at the moment, and I don't see lots of eyes flying
by. I don't know about Ruby where monkeypatching seems to be

Imagine debugging a pile of code that includes a module with:

Hi. I'm sure there've been debates about this before, but I can't seem

It seems to me that a lot of things could be made much easier if you

Things like your suggestion are called syntactic-sugar -- syntax that
adds a convenience, but *no* new functionality. Python has plenty of
syntactic-sugars, and more will be added in the future. To make an
argument for such an addition, one would have to describe some compelling
