Edward K. Ream:
1. There doesn't seem much debate that dropping @ from the list of symbols that can never appear in Python programs (outside of comments and strings) is, in fact, a major change to the language.
I do not believe using these symbols is a major change to the language. To me '@', '$' and '?' are currently unused symbols that may be used when there is a good reason to use them. In the past, there has been discussion about using '?' for inline if, '$' for string interpolation, and '@' for extended operators in IIRC matrix operations.
