Since it now looks like it really does have a decent chance, and maybe another -1 has a small chance of tipping the balance: my reaction to the proposal is also emotional. Visceral, in fact, to the extent that I'd aim to read and write less Python if it became commonplace.

Funnily enough, that's what some people said about decorator syntax, ternary if, type annotations and list comprehensions.
All of them have become great additions to the language. I hated the idea of aping C and adding += operators and swore I'd never use them. That lasted, well, about a month. Just sayin'.
Well - I've come to respect your opinion, so ... OK, I'll give += a try. Frankly, I've grown tired of editing it out of all the packages I download anyway ;-)
