From the posts I've seen here, the only alternatives that have considerable popular support are ones that you've already rejected. So I suspect nobody really feels it's worth trying. Well, do people generally buy those rejections, or is their consensus that I'm mistaken? I'm one of the people who doesn't really feel it's worth trying. My consensus :-) is that you're mistaken. I think that - the @-syntax is horrible and unpythonic as all-get-out, but usable; - your arguments against the []-before-colon form are utterly bogus;
Aside from changing "utterly bogus" to "excessive", I'm entirely +1 on everything Gareth wrote in his post.
