Its a function… ok. Its ‘just’ a function… Arguable For example: - Prior Art: Its builtin and special in Fortran, Pascal, Basic - More immediate : It was a special in python2 - Poorer error catching: What was a straight syntax error is now a lint-catch (at best) [print (x) for x in range(20)] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
