Eighty: > So does no one have a comment on this?
Similar proposals have appeared before (such as on python-dev about a year ago) and haven't attracted much positive comment. The benefits appear to be small compared to the cost of making the language larger. You could try the formal route of writing a PEP so that a detailed proposal and its reasons for (probable) rejection would be available for others.
