"Do What I Mean" (DWIM) programming is a terrible idea.
It's an anti-pattern, when one expects the implementation
to follow different and contradicting rules and then
somehow guess what was in the mind of the programmer.
But it's a pattern when it means to strip the language
of useless boilerplate and still following consistent
and simple rules. That was what made Python great.
Following the aphorism "Everything should be made as simple as possible,
but not simpler", removing 'def' and ':' is probably taking it a bit too
far.
