Did you also consider and reject: * Alternate binding operators (e.g. ":=", ".=", etc.)
Brr.
* Alternate spelling of outer names when binding (e.g. ".x = whatever" to bind an outer x)
We looked at and rejected "globals.x = whatever". I think the same reasoning applies here.
If so, then these should probably be added to the "rejected alternatives" for Py3K so they don't get rehashed.
Georgbot?
