Maybe even just dt = stopwatch(): a() b() Whatever keyword is used is bound to not sound right for some usages, so it would be best if no keyword were needed at all.

Since PEP 310 was already mentioned, can we just say that the discussion can be boiled down to different ways of spelling enter/exit from PEP 310?

If so, then if either one of you really want/need this kind of thing, maybe one of you should pick up the PEP, address the issues sufficiently, and make it happen.
