In fairness, this idea is different, because the type comes first.
Since the '<' character will always be the start of an expression, I
think it may be unambiguous. I think this has been suggested before
also, though I'm not sure where.
I don't personally like this syntax because it seems to put the cart
before the horse. In a function call, I would expect to see the Print
function with a type argument int. This flips the order so that we
see int first, then we see that we are talking about the Print
function. Even if it could work syntactically, it seems to me to be
less readable.
The goal in any syntax suggestion should be more than just "this might
work." It should be "this is more readable and easier to understand."
And personally I don't think this specific suggestion meets that
goal.
Thanks for the comment, though.
