A Suggestion for Python Colon Syntax

Well, there is the fact that it's currently between Chrismas
and New Year's, and a lot of people aren't "here".  But aside from
that, I suspect

 - that 90% of the responses that are being suppressed are from
   lack of interest and/or a confidence that The Right Thing
   (i.e., No change) Will Happen; and

 - that most of those responses, were they to be written, would say
   something like this:   "Why ever would you want to make your
   code less consistent and less readable by omitting the colons?"

barely here-ly,
