Useless aside:
If I had access to Guido's time machine, I would go back to the
beginning of Python and brainwash Guido into prefixing all
keywords-that-introduce-statements with the '@' character. Adding a new
statement keyword would then be easy-peasy, Leo would have chosen a
different character, and Python programs would all look like this:
@using my_decorator
@def f(x):
@if you_think_this_is_ugly or is_silly:
@print "I agree with you"
Thank goodness I don't have access to it.
Cheers,
Evan @ 4-am
