Interesting. It solves some of the issues with chosing a clear syntax
for "design by contract" and other similar features that were being
debated lately. I also thought about his one:

! def foo(x=calculate_default_value()):
!     pass
! where:
!     def calculate_default_value():
!         ...
!         return <something>
