There are not many places in Python syntax where we may have many
identifiers in a row.  One of the places is for allowing `as' within the
`import' statement without making `as' a reserved word.

However, this approach would allow an arbitrary amount and kind of white
space between the successive words of a single identifier.  Who knows,
it might be good nevertheless?
