After rewriting a bunch of my existing code to use the various proposed
syntaxes in PEP 318, this is the one I ended up preferring.

But again, I think all the issues, opinions, etc. are covered in the
PEP, so it doesn't make much sense to continue to debate the issue. 
Hopefully Guido will pronounce on it soon.
