This was rejected a long time ago because it complicated life for editor colorizing support
Oh, Fred, please! "Complicated life"? (and, "Editor colorizing support"?!) Much as I love python-mode, it hardly seems a good reason to add a whole new syntactic branch to Python, particularly when editors are really good at identifying a small set of distinguished words in distinguished positions.
By the way, if we're going down the road of compile-time markup, how about a real macro language :-?
